Mystic Dreamer Tarot
King of Swords
This king sits with his preferred tools (or weapons, depending on your point of view), an incredibly bright sword and a magnificent hawk. These indicate his sharp intellect that always goes directly to the heart of any matter.
This king leads by intellectual ideals. He does not seek to inspire passion or have his people love him. He uses intelligence, objectivity and analysis to decide what is right, fair, and just. These are the ideals he upholds for himself and for those around him. He leads by example. His standards are very high; he expects a lot of those around him. He has no patience for anyone who doesn't do their best or who doesn't share the same ideals. He can lack compassion for what he may perceive as weakness and is intolerant of uncontrolled emotional outbursts.
If reversed, this king may use his impressive abilities to further his own agenda with no respect for ethics, standards, or ideals. He can be ridiculously judgmental and hold people in contempt if they dont behave or think as he deems appropriate or right.
Use your intuition
- This king is very much about intellect. What then, does the moon in the background suggest?
- There are three trees in the background; one blooming with flowers as if it were spring, one red as if it were fall, and one green as if it were the height of summer. Why?
