Description of the Image
The Page of Swords cradles a young swan, her body serving as a living cradle to protect the young one from harm. She has a strong sense of purpose. Reflecting her attitude, swans gather nearby to shield her with their energetically flapping wings. They are sleepless guardians. Their watchful eyes see everything. Their wings beat excitedly to create an updraft that will see her through the night.
She looks to the stars for guidance, following them as sailors once did. The thin radiation of these distant points of light points the way to follow, as they have done for ages for those who knew how to read their intricate patterns. Their work of weaving the light forms a secret map. As she flies through the sky, they call to her, her companions, and the winds themselves. In haste, the winds rise up, answering this call. She welcomes them; if these winds suddenly shift her wings, she quickly adapts. She is aware of these elusive changes and knows how to compensate for them. She beckons you, inviting you to free your eyes from the cloudiness that obscures the daylight, and to see the path offered by the nighttime keepers of the sky.

Her mind is agile and analytical, and she uses it to guide her sense of purpose and assess situations. She heightens her senses to try to create space for the new and the unknown.
