8 of SwordsThoth Tarot Tarot Meaning

8 of Swords card from the Thoth Tarot tarot deck

Number: 8 of Swords  ·  Arcana: Minor Arcana — Swords

Upright meaning

Interference — real waste of energy spent on small details, neglect of what actually matters, restriction offset only by great care in a few things.

Reversals in this deck

The Thoth tradition does not read reversed cards. Crowley's system judges a card as well- or ill-dignified from the cards around it and its elemental dignities, so every card here is read upright.
