51-Two of Athames – Upright Salem Deck

When upright, the Two of Swords suggests that your inner state is calm and finely balanced. You are able to review your options and take reasoned decisions against a backdrop of changing circumstances and varying emotions. If you’ve had differences with others, you can see the value in resolving differences and burying the hatchet. This state of peace and self-possession characterizes the rapport you feel with your closest friends. True friendship is based on the tender and honest balancing of the needs, wishes, and feelings of both parties.

Astrology: The emotional and inconstant Moon in the first decan of airy Libra, realm of the Queen of Swords (Water of Air) and Justice (Libra). The Moon is linked to the High Priestess. The airy Queen of Swords gives birth to the season of autumn at the start of Libra.

Crowley/Thoth: Peace, a quarrel settled and resolved, peace restored but some tension remaining. Crowley objects to the Golden Dawn’s ‘peace restored’ because he says there has been no disturbance, and he likens this card to the negative form of a positive idea and the masterful chastity of an honorable knight.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: This last admonition confused me because I spent a lot of time playing with two of the Protestant kids in my neighborhood. Neither seemed very much interested in religion. As far as I could tell, they never tried to corrupt my immortal soul; they just wanted to ride their bikes, go for hikes, and play ball. The mismatch between the nuns’ teachings and the evidence of my senses only served to deepen my scepticism.
