King of Swords

Brief Description

The King of Swords represents justice and authority, reminding us that even the smallest person deserves fair treatment. However, this card warns of the dangers when justice becomes corrupted by personal grievances. When a king loses his throne, his sense of justice may transform into vengeance. This card calls for balanced judgment and warns against letting personal wounds cloud our sense of true justice.

Justice for All

Even the smallest person has the right to justice, but beware: the justice of a king without a throne is often revenge.

Visual Description

A stern, crowned man stands full-length on a black-and-white checkered floor, wearing a long purple robe trimmed with fur and gold. He holds a long upright sword in his right hand, blade pointed down, while his left hand balances a small set of scales. His face is solemn with long hair and a trimmed beard, and a cross hangs at his chest. Behind him is a stylized backdrop of dark clouds and looming silhouettes of battlements, framed by an ornate border featuring a sword emblem at the top.
