Two of Swords

Air · Swords
The Two of Swords card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A blindfolded figure sits before a moonlit sea with two swords crossed over the chest.

Upright

  • Stalemate
  • Refusing to look
  • Truce

The blindfold is worn, not imposed. Traditionally a decision held off by declining to look at it — and it invites you to notice you are the one holding both swords.

Reversed

  • Facing it
  • Overload
  • Tipped

Read reversed, the blindfold comes off, or the balance goes and the choice makes itself.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
