Description
The Lord of Blades sits on His scarlet throne as War raged on behind Him. He is Ruler of Air, the Grand Duke Who sees all truths and outcomes of battle, knowing the motivation of it and how to triumph over it. At His feet is the witch’s ego from the Ace of Blades. It has perished and now the witch is free to elevate. The blood of life flows all around Him, for He is the Lord Who sits between life and death, the body and the soul. The War is the internal war we all face within. It is the rational versus the irrational, natural versus supernatural, ego versus the spiritual self. He is law and order among chaos, and can be war to achieve peace.
Divinatory Meaning - Invoked
The Lord of Blades invoked represents the war of the soul. He challenges you to let your intuition and spiritual self rule, even at the peril of the ego. He represents a dark-haired, dark-eyed man of authority, someone who is in a prominent decision-making position. This person, you or otherwise, is wise in counsel and should be sought out when advice is needed. He is also a card of personal power. You have immense strength and authority at your disposal. This makes you an extremely loyal friend and a terrifying enemy. It indicates a precise and strategic level of intelligence that makes you or the man described perfect for winning against any adversity. Another aspect to consider is the distant war. You have faced the battle and it is moving more and more out of view, so look to the path to peace ahead.
Divinatory Meaning - Banished
When the Lord of Blades is banished, He takes with it His trustworthiness and His benevolence. Banished, He is the Mad Lord of violence and abuse. A barbarian who wants power to dominate and control. This position also uncovers a plot against you, or abuse you are receiving that will come to light and be exposed.
