I think the hand that is formed from clouds might be the hand of God, which gives you control to force which is the sword. The crown symbolizes the uniqueness of the person, it will be a key for that person to succeed... The left leaves symbolize purity, the right is like a wing which is ready to fly, and the 6 petals above the hilt displays gracefulness...

The background, a barren wasteland, or mountains, probably depicts that a person had a wide view, or became open-minded...bringing another new view of the world...

This card might actually be like the Death card that has change in similarity, a new life, but this card is like an opening to a new story.

Good inputs there Zelda
I like the way you intuit.

Hi,

To tell you how it is to hold a sword will by no means describe correctly how you feel inside. Feeling the weight of the blade and all it's connotations are intertwined. You hold a weapon capable of total destruction, yet you can also peel an apple with it. When you present someone with it in a display of power, they feel threatened and will probably make a run for it.

Go to a shop that sells swords, grab a broadsword and visualize yourself into that position of power. Feel what it feels like!

Blessed be.
