Two of Swords

Brief Description

The Two of Swords represents freedom and liberation from difficult circumstances. Like Orpheus guided by Hermes on the path leading out of the underworld, this card signifies following divine guidance toward escape from challenging situations. The presence of Eurydice's shadow suggests that freedom may come with sacrifice or loss, but the journey toward liberation continues. This card embodies the courage to move forward despite uncertainty and the trust in higher guidance to lead you out of darkness.

The card border shows a small sword icon and the numeral 2 at the top left and the word SWORDS at the top right; the bottom margin bears the words ÉPÉES, ESPADAS, SCHWERTER, SPADE. The color palette is dominated by purples, pinks and warm ochres, and the scene is framed by a decorative gold border.
