Ace of swords: La Chiva has a go at an ecstatic channeled significance…
deck pictured here…
The Ace of Swords is a lovely place to start with this because it is itself a new idea, maybe a needle into the brain, which does not sound quite as pleasant…Or it is the spinal cord, not the spinal column as in the bones but the nerve tissue itself, that is the Ace of Swords. The handle of the sword, the place from where the tool or weapon (each is always both, isn’t it?) is directed in impulse, the grip, is located at the base of the spine where that mysterious energy of creation resides. The blade, edges are sharp like the lines of a high-rise tower as they slide up through the thick air of a city, slicing a clean path through the insides of the metropolis, up to the action centre. But this skyscraper does not rise through the clouds but rather it emerges from a cloudy un-differentiated source, an un-thought place of desire. The blade rises and pierces the mind with a singular thing, a penetrating and pointed tip. That tip was there before all sorts of the unresolved stuff that’s in the guts. Now what was only felt or intuited is known and articulated. A thought is now present and passing through language, through the mind, into consciousness. ***r ***ranarchy ***rspirituality ***rtarot ***rtarotreader
