From the Rohrig Tarot, the Knight (King) of Swords; from the Master Tarot/Oracle, the Prophet:
The conversations my mother and I have - prone to wind from here to there and back again - would drive this Knight/King batty. He's a keen observer, intelligent and clever, but those who ramble will be quickly silenced. He has no time for side exits, exciting tidbits or anything that sounds like an excuse. His likely response to such would be,"Cut to the chase, I don't have time to listen to irrelevant chatter!" While he may be a little intimidating, this is the guy you want to speak with when you need to see the heart of the matter. His perceptiveness cuts through all the distractions, finding the root of the issue with sharp clarity. The Prophet is based on John the Baptist, who recognized Jesus as the Son of Man but also as a great spiritual teacher. This card encourages us to find people who can see through our self-assigned labels and our past baggage to the diamond underneath. Those with 'swords' can be useful for cutting through what prevents us from seeing the truth.
