Upright:

Your hard work pays off.  
Time to observe, be alert.  
Cleverness, contracts.

Reversed:

Manipulation.  
Gossip and misconception.  
Need for attention.

I spent some time this weekend working on the court cards in Tarot and, although I feel a bit more confident with some of the ways to read them, it is still a work in progress. These haikus really help! 🥰

The Page of Swords is an air card that deals with the realm of intellect, thought, and communication, and I think you captured that energy perfectly here in both the Upright and the Reversed!

Really great job as always, Amethyst! 👏❤

I have been trying to work on being able to recall themes for the suits & court cards. Swords is a suit that is very… intriguing 🧐 to me, so I’m trying. Looking at the images on my cards & reading the Haikus & the booklet meanings helps me bring the whole card into the reading.

The other thing I am working on is reading the cards intuitively. That is still a work in progress. 😂

😊 Thank you so much! I have such a difficult time with court cards for some reason, I’m hoping I can memorize them or something.

Same here! I’m glad my little poems help you!
