The Cards of Swords (Introduction)

Module Overview

Unlocking the Cards: Finding Your Deck's Meaning

This is where things get exciting! 

You already know the basic meaning of 40 cards—the entire Minor Arcana (excluding Courts)—just by combining our sequence word (from the geometric progression) and our suit Core-Concept (like Wisdom).

For example, we’ll begin by combining Entirety (sequence word for the Ace), with Wisdom (Suit of Swords), to get the Entirety of Wisdom. But what does that abstract phrase actually mean in a reading? That's the question we'll answer, as we now explore what each card in a suit represents within our Building Blocks framework.

I invite you to either test these principles against your own Core-Concept, or simply use my exploration as a guide for deeper insight.

Learning Outcomes:

These modules will guide you to:

 ✅ Understand how to combine sequence and suit Core-Concepts.

 ✅ Evaluate Pamela Colman Smith’s art in terms of your keyword/Core-Concept.

 ✅ See how each card in the sequence deepens the meaning of the suit and tells a unique story.



 ✅ Find a word or phrase that represents each card in a suit.
