The Rider Waite Tarot The Knight’s
Knights are supercharged with energy. They actively bring something into your spread and into your life. It could be a visit, news heading your way or major changes. Depending on the energy of you spread, a Knight could be a serious opponent or challenge in your future. The Knights are very special cards because they are all active, they are on their way and on a mission. Pay close attention to their message for they want to take you somewhere and show you the best way to continue on your path. They serve the King and Queens of their suit and usually announce actions, news and revelations. Knights are about forward motion, high spirit, drive, determination and almost reckless demand for compliance.
The Rider Waite Tarot Suit of Swords
The Suit of Swords is associated with action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. Action can be both constructive and/or destructive, sometimes resulting in violence. This suit can also mean hatred, battle, and enemies, and of all the suits, this one is considered to be the most powerful and dangerous. The Suit of Swords deals with the mental level of consciousness that is centred around the mind and the intellect. Swords mirror the quality of mind present in your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. Swords themselves are double-edged and in this way the Suit of Swords symbolises the fine balance between intellect and power and how these two elements can be used for good or evil. As such, the Swords must be balanced by spirit (Wands) and feeling (Cups). The negative aspects of the Suit of Swords (i.e. when the Swords cards appear reversed) include anger, guilt, harsh judgement, a lack of compassion and verbal and mental abuse.
The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. Full of symbolism and deeper meanings, Arthur E. Waite, the intellectual father of the Rider Waite deck, commented that ‘the true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.’

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Astrology: Expansive Jupiter (debilitated) in the first decan of airy Gemini, the realm of the Knight of Swords (Fire of Air) and of the Lovers (Gemini). Jupiter is linked to the Wheel of Fortune. Jupiters debilitated state in Gemini brings about increase without accompanying good fortune.
Complete Book of Tarot: The Golden Dawn bases its system on the correspondences between the court cards and the Tetragrammaton YahvehYod, Heh, Vav, Hehthe four Hebrew letters in the name of the deity. The accompanying table illustrates these associations.
Portable Magic: It is convenient to assign elemental Earth to one of the trumps, from a purely practical standpoint. However, it is contrary to the system of correspondences set forth in Sepher Yetzirah, where only three elements are linked with the Hebrew letters, not four. The Golden Dawn members may not have fully grasped that the trumps relate to the active spheres above the fixed realm of the four lower elements, and hence are distinct from the earthly sphere.
