The Sacred Sword

Excalibur – the magical sword that brings healing and fortune, held above water by the hand of the Lady of the Lake. This weapon comes with strong determination to act, energy for growth and change.

The Blade of Clarity

Moreover, the sword is also a boundary, reflecting light and darkness on its edges. Just as it cuts through flesh, so does a clear mind sharply separate the desired from the undesired, drawing a line and making firm decisions.

Visual Description

A single upright sword is held aloft by a hand emerging from swirling water and cloud, golden rays fanning out behind the blade. Drops of water drip from the sword and the crossguard, and the hand wears a simple bracelet and a ring while a red sleeve is visible. Mountains or rocky shapes sit on the distant horizon and a banner at the bottom reads "ACE OF SWORDS."
