From the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Ace of Swords; from the Cedar Runes, Raidho:
The Ace of Swords is double-edged, implying that ideas and words can be used in arrogance and anger or in truth-telling and justice. This particular one points downward, a suggestion that we ground our ideas and words in factual evidence rather than emotional drama, assumption, opinion or hearsay. Raidho is translated as 'riding,' and suggests traveling down a path in search of something or towards a goal. Yet if the 'map' we're using (our ideas and beliefs) are askew, we'll never arrive at our destination. The construction adage to 'measure twice, cut once' might fit here when it comes to closely examining the thoughts we're using as a compass.
