Card 51 • swords

Two of Swords

Brief Description

The Two of Swords represents the inevitable emergence of our primal nature and instincts. Despite our attempts to suppress or control them, these fundamental aspects of ourselves will eventually surface. The card suggests that our basic nature cannot be permanently contained or denied, and we must acknowledge and work with these instincts rather than against them.

Core Meaning

Animal instincts will sooner or later break out. Nature will take its course.

Visual Description

A small rectangular vignette shows two nude figures on a bed: one person sits upright, blindfolded, while the other lies beneath them. A pair of sword hilts and blades are depicted above and below the central image, aligned vertically with the card. In the margin a vertical band of text reads something like "2 - SPADE - SWORDS - SCHWERTER - ESPADAS - EPEES," and a single column or pillar stands at the right edge of the interior scene.
