Today’s Tarot Card Compare looks at 3 versions of the King of Swords.
The first card is from Tarot of the Trance by Eva Maria Nitsche. The second is from Tapestry Tarot by Yvonne G. Jensen. And the third card is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.
How are themes of power, dominance, clarity of communication, and mental mastery expressed in each version? How are the cards similar? What makes each unique?
I especially like the snakes and apples in the Tarot of the Trance. Brilliant.
