a messenger, curiosity, a new lesson

A sharp observer with a quick mind -- curiosity, fresh information and a readiness to test ideas.

A scatter of ideas, or words that cut before they clarify -- think before you speak that thought.

The suit of Swords belongs to Air and to thought, conflict and clarity.

In a three-card reading

In the past position Page of Swords describes the current that carried you to where you are; in the present position, what is most alive in the situation now; in the future position, the direction things tend toward if nothing changes. A reading weighs it against the other two cards rather than on its own.
