King of Swords
The King of Swords represents the power of strategic thinking and transformative wisdom over brute force. Rather than fighting opposition directly, he uses his sharp intellect to convert potential enemies into allies through careful nurturing and guidance. This card calls for facing reality with clear vision, employing realism and inventiveness as weapons against strong opponents, and finding simple yet effective solutions through pure rational thought.
Keywords
The Discovery
The King of Swords has found a nest of predatory birds: inside sit fledglings hoarse from their cries. The ruler's sharp mind instantly grasps the significance of his discovery.
The Creative Solution
Raising his hands upward like a conductor, the King uses the power of thought to create butterflies that descend to the nest, becoming food for the hungry chicks. Instead of warring with their enraged parents, he places his bet on the malleable growing offspring, trusting his infallible clear mind to destroy their wild instincts for the greater good.
The Transformation of Character
For the first time in the Song of Swords, a soft, cautious smile appears on the character's face. One must be a great person not only to fight evil, but also to change it, to use it for good. This requires an impeccable character and clear vision of the goal.
Strategic Wisdom
Realism and inventiveness are serious weapons for fighting a strong opponent; do not let emotions cloud common sense. Look facts in the face, coldly and stoically. Seek the best course of action. The answer may be simpler than you think.
Visual Description
A crowned, fur-cloaked figure stands against a star-speckled black sky, holding a sword upright. Red butterflies cascade downward from the figure into a dark boat where two white swans sit. Snowflakes fill the scene and white wings frame the composition, with pale snowy ground beneath. The title "King of Swords" is printed at the bottom of the card.
