Rider-Waite: Swords
ו
The Swords are the suit of Air and mind: thought, analysis, conflict, the word. They belong to Yetzirah and the letter Vau. Their small cards run through Libra (2, 3, 4), Aquarius (5, 6, 7) and Gemini (8, 9, 10). Crowley notes that the suit shows the mind's disorder more often than its order, because Air is the most unstable element. Psychologically they are the thinking function.
