The Lord of Peace is a card which advises us to climb to the high ground in order to get a perspective, particularly on any emotional difficulties that we might have. Sometimes, a conflict bogs us down so badly in our reactions that we find it difficult to achieve an objective view. Instead we wallow about, knee deep in hurt feelings and negativity, never able to get an overview. Yet if we can just move our position a little, see the centre of the conflict, often we perceive the whole situation more clearly. And once we manage that, a way through the tangle becomes apparent. When we can see that pathway we know what we need to do, and it’s easy to see what’s really important and what is rubbish that we collected along the way. So on a day ruled by the 2 of Swords, if there are any issues about which you feel emotionally sore and unhappy, make a deliberate and conscious effort to get to the high ground, above the situation.

If you have no pressing emotional hurts right now, pick a matter that causes you concern more randomly – a long-running confusion, maybe, or something which you wish could have been resolved in the past. Use the same process of climbing above it with the intention of finding another way of looking at it, which is more comfortable for you than the one you now have. And then stick with it, and enjoy the sense of peacefulness that comes from finding a solution to something that hurts you! In readings, the Two of Swords often appears when you are not willing to accept some truth about yourself or the situation. What are you really feeling? Are you resisting tender feelings because you might be hurt? Are you furious even though you’re smiling? What are you refusing to look at? Notice the blindfold on this woman. She can’t look at the truth or even acknowledge that there is trouble.

Elements of the Psychic World
Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Polarity therapy works with the Human Energy Field, electromagnetic patterns expressed in mental, emotional and physical experience. Health is viewed as a reflection of the condition of the energy field, and therapeutic methods are designed to balance the field for the benefit of health. Like any energy field, energy can become positive or negative and polarity therapy seeks to balance this through an exchange between giver and receiver during a session. There are four ways to balance body energy: triggering chakra points on the body with a light touch; stretching exercises; dietary changes; and mental; emotional balancing exercises.

Reversed Cards: One has to wonder, what good is a mirror if you are unable to see it? This is a valid question here in the mirror aspect of the Two of Swords. The card itself alludes to not being able to use our eyes or at least to a lacking in the sense of visual sight. The Two of Swords, regardless of how you hold it, is not about the external world. It is about something deeper, more intense, possibly even spiritual in nature. If we follow this line of thinking through, then we can say that here in the mirrored aspect the reflection we are dealing with is the internal world or the inner self. Let’s face it—that’s the only thing we can see while we have a blindfold on.

Elements of the Psychic World: Divination methods range from the accepted and well known, such as astrology, palmistry and Tarot, to the forgotten, such as entomancy (divination interpreting the appearance and behaviour of insects), to the bizzarre, such as uromancy – divination by reading the appearance of urine in a pot. Most terms associated with divination end in ‘mancy’, from the Greek manteia (divination), or ‘scopy’ from the Greek skopein (to look into or behold). A diviner is someone who foretells future events based on the practice of divination.

Elements of the Psychic World: Divination by the casting of lots, popular in ancient Rome. It was typically done by casting objects such as stones or dice after they have been mixed together and interpreting how they landed, although drawing straws from a clasped hand was an alternative method. Sortilege has stood the test of time and is still practised today in Western cultures, using straws or dice or taking a card at random from a pack.
