Swords demand honesty, both with yourself and the world around you. They call for precision, fairness, and sometimes, the willingness to make difficult decisions.
Not every truth is easy, but every truth is necessary.
This suit belongs to the element of Air, the unseen force that carries words, ideas, and perceptions. Just like the wind, Swords can bring clarity or chaos, depending on how they are wielded.
They teach us that knowledge is power, but also that thoughts—left unchecked—can turn into self-doubt, anxiety, or overanalysis.
