In the Ace of Swords tarot card, like in other Ace cards, you see a hand coming out of a cloud. In this card you see the hand holding a Sword. The Swords represent the mind. With this sword, we see a double-edged sword with a crown on top. The crown can be representative of the experiences and success you have had. The hand holding this sword is symbolic of us having own mind and be in uniquely you and let your light shine. The 6 yellow flecks are meant to symbolize gold and is representative of the Lovers card (6). This is the card that asks you, are you being yourself and creating your paradise? The twigs hanging from the crown can be representative of the resources you have to take on your journey. The mountains can be the challenges we go along in the journey through life.
