KING OF SWORDS:
Fire of Air
The fiery aspect of Air is our King of Swords. His throne is of ethereal matter made of vapor and mists. He is crowned with a blue sphere and girdled in golden discs. In his right hand is a double-edged Sword, and in his left, a golden dish which has the Blue Rose of the Impossible etched upon it. It is host to the elemental creature of Air, a sylph, which being true to its nature, steps ever so lightly onto a breath of Air.
Our King of Air is a keen-minded individual, and gifted in language. His authority is in communication, whether spoken or written. He is knowledgeable of all the rules and how to break them. His candor is sharp, and he can be cruel. Clean shaven, he dislikes anything messy or overtly physical. He doesn't like to get his hands dirty, and if he needs to, it better be for a "good reason" such as creating a work of art. When he is angered, he will expose and bring his adversaries not only to justice, but also to ridicule and ruin. It is better to be his friend than his foe because there exists no middle ground. His decree: "Life's a chess game, position is everything; don't get angry, take revenge." Influences of an Air sign male—Aquarius, Gemini or Libra. --- Deck: Sacred Rose Tarot (Johanna Gargiulo-Sherman, 1980)
