From Roza’s deck
King of Swords
authority of mind · judgment · principle
The king of the clear air — impartial judgment, intellectual command, law and principle upheld.
Reversed, it falls differently: Cold rulings, clever tyranny, or principle bent to convenience.
For the heart: Fairness and clear agreements protect the heart here.
For bread and coin: Lead by standards, not moods; expert counsel matters now.
For the road ahead: Let principle rule the mind, and the mind rule the moment.
A card on a page is a word, child. A card your own hand draws is a sentence. There is a difference.
Every dawn one card waits face-down on my table — come and turn yours. Or bring the cards a full question: the table is there.
