Page of Swords

This card shows a young girl running down a hill. In her hands she holds a naked sword upright. On her belt she wears a spyglass. Behind her, hills covered with grass go back to the horizon. The sky is filled with clouds, except the area around the sword.

Key – Running with Scissors

This card means grace, dexterity, diplomacy, intelligence (or intelligence work i.e., spying.) Service done in secret, or secrets uncovered. An unexpected happening; something that is too quick to react to. Vision and agility, but with an edge of danger.

Like all the pages, this one is a young girl. She is running, with her sword held in front of her, to show her swiftness and dexterity, and also to show that she is living on the edge. She is smiling as she runs, because she really enjoys this! Her grace and good balance may enable her to run easily, and safely, in spite of the inherent dangers. (In some readings, though, all I can see is the sword. In those cases, I remind the Seeker that he is doing dangerous things, and may get hurt.)

She has brown hair because that is the coloring that traditionally goes with the suit of Swords, and there are people who use that. I made her hair long and loose so it could be streaming behind her in the wind of her running. Yellow is one of the colors of the east, which is associated with the air and Swords, so I gave her yellow ribbons. She has four of them for the four winds, because this is the suit of air. She also has three white feathers in her hair, to show her purity and freedom of spirit, and that she will retain these throughout her life; now as a maid, later as a mother, and lastly as a crone.

Her tunic has long sleeves, because she likes to feel them billow in the wind, but is short, so it won’t interfere with her running. This shows that she really likes the sensations, but is still practical enough to protect herself in some ways. It’s blue, for the sky, because this is an air card, and has clouds on the hem and cuffs to show affinity with the sky as well. Pretty, puffy ones, though, to show her imagination and because in many ways she is still just playing. There are birds there, too, to show the freedom of her spirit. It’s lined with yellow, to show the correspondence with the east, and the dawn, and also to show her essential joy.

Her boots are short, so they won’t hamper her, and blue for the sky. The cuffs are made like wings, to show that her feet really fly! They are white again for her purity, of course.

She wears a long white belt with a motif of feathers on it, once again for the freedom, beauty, and swiftness of a bird in flight. It streams behind her to show how quickly she is
