SWORDS. THREE.

Three swords piercing a heart; cloud and rain behind.

Divinatory Meanings:
Removal, absence, delay, division, rupture, dispersion, and all that the design signifies naturally, being too simple and obvious to call for specific enumeration.

Reversed:
Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

SWORDS. TWO.

A hoodwinked female figure balances two swords upon her shoulders.

Divinatory Meanings:
Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms; another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other favorable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs.

Reversed:
Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty.
