FOUR OF SWORDS- SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE

The Four of Swords Tarot card shows a knight in his full armour lying in the tomb with his arms folded as if in a prayer position. The three swords can be seen hanging on the wall above him while one is under him, inside the tomb. These three swords hanging above the Knight on the wall are the representation of his head, heart and guts. The sword placed in horizontal position beneath him is a symbol of peace and agreement pointing towards the end of the battle. In the background, the image of a woman and child on the glass window of the church represents warmth that we can experience after a retreat. It signals the peace and warmth one may experience after a fight is resolved.
