Meaning
Meaning — Description
The Page of Swords is the eternal student in the literal sense of the word—always learning, always curious, always listening, always thinking. They consume knowledge like breathing, and their mind and tongue are quick as the wind. They love to engage with new ideas and information as much as they love to share their mind with others, and nothing enlivens them quite like a spirited debate. Nose always in a book, they believe in the transformative powers of the mind, and they know that the right book can be a portal. Some may say the Page is too much in their head and too seldom in reality, but then the Page will just engage them in a lively debate about the subjective nature of reality until all parties involved start questioning what's real.
Meaning — In a Reading
In a reading, the Page of Swords encourages us to adopt a curious and open-minded approach, especially in the mental arenas of learning, thinking, and communicating. This card frequently appears when we think we know all we need to know on a subject, and the Page of Swords shows up to say think again. They can herald new information or messages. Sometimes, their loose tongue leads them to share too much or to speak before their thoughts are fully formed, so the Page can also counsel discretion in speech. Truly open-minded, they can be a bit gullible, so this card also advises us to seek many sources, vet them all, and rely on our own critical thinking to make informed decisions.
