From the New Liminal Tarot, the King of Swords; from the State by State Playing Cards, West Virginia (Ten of Hearts):

The King of Swords is known for his high ideals and intelligent, rational thinking. However, this fellow is so high up in the clouds, I wonder how any idea he has or decision he makes will ever be manifested physically. Yet Neill suggests our mind has an active mode - when it sifts through information in support of a specific result - and a receptive mode. The latter mode allows our thinking to settle down and gain access to an intelligence that comes from somewhere beyond our personal database. It moves us beyond applying the same Band-Aids to our problems. West Virginia is known for is lovely, handmade quilts. Originally used for protection and insulation (and made with worn out scraps of clothing), quilts have now become works of art. To receive one is a gift of love. These two cards suggest the logic of the mind combined with the receptiveness of the heart can help us find the most beneficial solution.
