Ace of Swords
Universal Waite Tarot
Art by Pamela Colman Smith with coloring by Mary Hanson-Roberts
June 20-24, 2022: Tarot folks who have practiced for years and decades don't need a deck in their hands to summon an appropriate image for the moment. Ask and you will receive. And that is the case with our CARD OF THE WEEK. I asked for a card, and Pamela Colman Smith's Ace of Swords rose up in my mind as if issued forth from a cloud!
Furthermore, the Ace of Swords--which is a card of swift thought--readily offered a self-interpretation I had never before considered: being knighted by the tap of that sword on one's shoulders. And the reason we don't see an actual royal anywhere to do the traditional knighting is that Spirit itself has taken that role.
So, from now on, when the Ace of Swords turns up in a draw or a layout, I will have an additional meaning to try out, depending on the situation at hand.
This week, turn your attention to the role of willing service in your life and work. It could be time to acknowledge how (and what) you have served, to reconsider it, if necessary, and/or to prepare for a new way in which you will serve.
Bear in mind that we can be of service to persons, places, things, ideas, ideals. We serve Spirit as well. To what have you committed (or are now ready to commit) your best?
If you are not happy about how you may have devoted your time and energy, you can map out how to redirect them based on your evolved understanding, values, and needs. A clear choice will lead to well-earned reward.
