Ace of SwordsThoth Tarot Tarot Meaning

Ace of Swords card from the Thoth Tarot tarot deck

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

Upright meaning

The Root of the Powers of Air — real invoked power for good or ill, conquest and whirling activity won through genuine strength through trouble.

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.
