The INDIAN TAROTS – Two of Swords

The Two of Swords depicts a blindfolded figure wielding two swords. The card illustrates trust in one’s own intellect and a balance in one’s psyche. The Two of Swords appears whenever you are facing a difficult decision in your life.

The figure in the Two of Swords stands with their arms crossed. This posture suggests a strong defensive stance with a strong flow of energy throughout the body. With swords at the ready, the figure is far from helpless despite the blindfold. This figure is notably blindfolded. This reveals that the power of the mind is not limited to sight and sense perception. The blindfold also reiterates the traditional blinded figure of lady justice; the figure is unbiased in their judgement.

The glowing swords that the figure carries importantly extend beyond the limits of the card. This illustrates just how authoritative the swords are. It also reiterates the responsibility required of the sword wielder. Above the figure’s blindfold there is a divine third eye that the figure sees from. Devoid of physical sight, the figure relies solely on their intelligence. Behind the figure is a vast waterbody, which is the Manas Sarobar in sacred Kailash Mountain. The water here represents the subconscious. Devoid of sight, the figure is having to rely on an intellect rooted in their psyche. The sickle moon in the sky illustrates the subconscious. The night sky is reflective of the figure’s lack of sight. The moon also compliments the ocean in painting a picture of the figure’s psyche.
