From the Roots of Asia Tarot, the King of Swords; from the Mahjongg Oracle, Carp:
Amoha is the alignment with that which is as it is without any spin, without any corruption of integrity. It’s this bold gaze at the truth, and the truth can be hard to accept if we’re emotionally invested in the truth being different than it is—and so often we are.
—Joshua Bee Alafia
The King of Swords is the king of clarity, yet he knows it requires him to first polish his own mirror. Otherwise, ignorance (not having enough knowledge about a situation), strong emotions, wishful thinking and rigid opinions can cloud his perception. Any judgments he makes must be free of these hindrances if he wants them to be balanced and objective. Carp symbolizes tranquility and inner calm, allowing thoughts and emotions to flow through and past us without reacting to them. As Willa Miller put it, "If you stop biting at the bait you won't get hooked." The King of Swords is likely adept as this meditative practice.
