Message of Knight of Swords:

Knights (Prince in the Thoth deck) traditionally pictured a young man sent forth to do the bidding of the Queen or King. He represents acting, reacting, approaching any situation in a decisive manner and taking initiative. 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 Knight of Swords represents swiftness to action in all intellectual pursuits. This quickness can manifest as a snappy or snippy remark to you or from you regarding the character of another. Use this energy to accomplish your goals quickly but don't forget to engage your compassion towards yourself and others.
