Symbolism

The page of swords card shows a young man holding his sword up to the sky. His body and sword move in the same direction while he turns his head to the opposite side, as a sign of his curiosity for the things that are around him and not only for the given path.[1] Although equipped with a sword, he otherwise wears only a light robe that allows him to move and advance freely, rather than heavy armor that would only hinder him on his way. A strong breeze blows through the man's hair and the looming clouds in the background convey an energetic dynamic inherent in this card.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
