Message of Six of Swords:
Sixes are the happy union of opposites. Sixes are represented by the six-pointed star, an upward triangle imposed on a downward triangle. There is recovery after a storm. 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 Six of Swords is also known as The Spirit of Knowledge and the Lord of Earned Success. The Waite-Smith deck shows a journey by boat. This can picture a lucky escape or a positive experience of journeying into a good unknown.
