Well, we’ve finished our journey through the Flames suit. And with
the Autumn Equinox and our ingress to Libra just past, I thought I’d turn my
attention to the suit of Swords – or Feathers, in the Margarete Petersen deck.

What do we associate with this suit? We’re in the element of Air, so thoughts,
ideas, … anything that involves the mind. Our ability to analyse, to reason, to
apply logic. If we think of air-waves, we have communication as well. The Swords/Feathers are also considered to be
the most challenging suit, and are associated with feelings of grief and
jealousy, and the isolation that such emotions can bring.
Here’s the Ace of Feathers. Like the
Ace of Flames, I see a creative spark in this peacock-eye feather – the colours
Petersen has used are reminiscent of a flame.
I like the idea of inspiration for the Ace of this suit – the inhaling
or in-spiring of the creative process – a new idea? An alternative way of communicating?
Feather's eye, mind's eye
Watching, fanning, inspiring
Stimulating thought.
