Based off the original Pamela Smith card
The card consists of a bearded man holding sword overtopped by a crown with which, depending on the side, an olive and a palm branch are present. These symbols represent mercy and severity.
issuing from clouds, and grasping the hilt of a sword, which supports a White Radiant Celestial Crown; from which depend, on the right, the olive branch of Peace; and on the left, the palm branch of suffering."
Other interpretations describe the Ace of Swords represents truth and intellect in its purest, most distilled form. This is because of its position as the ace of the suit.
It's important to note in understanding this card that all of the swords cards numbered 2-10 clearly depict pain, confusion, anger, and deception.It's not completely free of its ties to the rest of the suit. The imagery of the crown on the tip of the sword is the most likely explanation for Waite's interpretation of "triumph."
The mountains towards the bottom of the card represent the "objective facts of existence", and the cloud that the hand emerges from represents "a deeper level of spiritual values" that balances the cold, intellectual quality of the card with emotion.
Reversed meanings
"The same [as above], but the results are disastrous; another account says conception, childbirth, augmentation, multiplicity."
"The Root of the Powers of the Air." It is considered a very powerful card. Since it's an ace, representing the element of air, it has no assigned astrological ties to a planet or sign.
When reversed, the Ace of Swords becomes a "fearfully evil symbol."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gycdxx7ejsyuu2zg3ggxgre3/bafkreihdozv4ry7jfdd3mn3chqicxwodegbfxffx6tta3t76eyupddspoa@jpeg)
