Family, Friends & Relationships:

In general, this card can point to very deep emotional issues that must be addressed before the querent can move on. Denying pain does not make it go away (any more than denying a broken leg makes it heal.) However, attention must be paid to balance here also as it must be paid with The Two of Swords. Allow yourself to experience any pain that comes up now, but do not wallow in it. You do not and should not wallow in grief or sorrow for long. However only you can decide how long is long enough. Others can’t decide it for you.

Card Meanings: Sorrow, Upheaval, Serious Misunderstandings, Disorder, Sadness, Alienation, Absence, Division, Loss, Depression, Loneliness, Unhappiness, Disillusion, Conflict, Confusion, Removal, Distraction, Trauma, Civil War, Upset, Grief, Heartache, Betrayal, Heartbreak, Separation, Broken Relationship, Ill-Health

Regardless of the way that the Three of Swords card is depicted, know that it is not all bad. Although there is an element of sorrow that is undeniable when this card appears, what lies on the other side of this sorrow can be enhanced understanding and joy. Allow yourself to fully experience any sorrow or pain that comes up now, so that you can move beyond it.

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: A psychiatrist was called in to examine the boy but could find nothing wrong with him. The family called in a minister who believed that a ghost, perhaps the spirit of the dead aunt, might be involved. Some reports say that a Lutheran minister performed an exorcism or a series of exorcisms, while other reports say exorcisms were performed by a pair of Jesuit priests.

Reversed Cards: The Three of Swords in the shadow aspect could very well be a warning card. This card could be telling you that you are responsible for someone else’s grief and misery. You may not have done this intentionally, though the shadow aspect does hint to some level of awareness on your behalf. We are all guilty of wishing someone ill, just as we are all guilty of saying things we know we really shouldn’t say. The point here is that this sort of negativity has a huge vortex of pain, misery, and grief around it. And if you are creating it, it will show up in your life as well. Remember, what goes out also comes in. The shadow aspect of this card is letting you know that you may be on the receiving end of your own intentional negativity.

Portable Magic: The standard Tarot consists of seventy-eight cards having two main divisions called the Greater Arcana, or trumps, and the Lesser Arcana, or suits. Arcana is the plural form of arcane, and simply means mysteries. In the earliest Tarots, neither Roman nor Arabic numerals appeared on any of the cards. The ordering of the trumps of the Greater Arcana was a received tradition that was taught orally but not marked on the trumps. Repetitions of the suit symbol defined the value of each number card of the Lesser Arcana, just as they did in common playing card decks until quite recent times.

Portable Magic: Touch the centre of the card on the triangle of trumps that you have chosen to express the realization of your will with your fingertip, and in your astral form cast your entire right hand at the centre of the glowing triangle of light as though throwing a bolt of force from your chest into the triangle, saying:
