Message of King of Swords:
Kings (Knights in the Thoth deck) combine experience and assertiveness to take control of situations, directions, plans, families, businesses, institutions. Kings are goal oriented, achieving success through the inspiration and direction of others. Swords (Spades, Knives, Daggers, Arrows, Clouds, Athames, etc.) represent the Air Element and are concerned with all mental pursuits, communication, decisions, ideas, rationality, comprehension, articulation, and conflicts. The King of Swords is also known as The Father of Perception and The Master of the Arrow. Aleister Crowly said the Knight(the king in the Thoth deck) of Swords explodes "the limits of the mind spontaneously". This King is a rationalist who frequently changes his mind.
