Page of Swords

UPRIGHT

A young figure stands on a windy hill with a sword lifted, watching the horizon. The Page of Swords is the curious mind — the questioner, the apprentice of clarity, the messenger of difficult or important news. The card honors intellect that is still learning how sharp it is, and warns gently against using the blade before learning to grip it.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Page of Swords is the clever tongue turned cruel, or curiosity sliding into gossip. The card can name a young person whose questions are designed to wound, a piece of news offered as a weapon, or the querent's own habit of speaking faster than they think.
