Two Edges

From the Light Seer's Tarot, the Queen of Swords; from the Tapestry Oracle, Edge:

Let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.

~William Penn

This Queen knows that to maintain an unbiased, clear perspective, one must maintain a distance from the situation. It's why some people find her cold, though she really is just trying to stay objective and be logical. People go to her cousin, the Queen of Cups, when they want to talk about their feelings. They come to the Queen of Swords for an unvarnished, honest view of reality. Like her sword, the truth can be sharp and painful. The Edge points to the two edges of this queen's sword - one razor-like and cutting and one dull and rounded. There are those she counsels who do not require the sharp edge, but for those who deny, blame and excuse, she has no choice but to cut away what hides the truth.
