Waite-Smith 塔罗（1909）
Two of Swords
The Two of Swords shows a blindfolded figure holding two swords crossed, a calm sea behind. It is the card of the held decision — balance kept by not choosing.
下列历史牌义引自 A. E. Waite《The Pictorial Key to the Tarot》（1911），用语反映了当时的时代背景；后续章节提供当代反思视角。
正位牌义
Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms; another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other favourable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs.
逆位牌义
Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty.
这张牌在做什么
It represents the pause of indecision: two equal claims, and the comfort of neither. It appears when you postpone a choice to keep the peace. The blindfold is self-chosen.
文化与传统的读法
In the traditional reading the Two is conformity, courage and friendship in arms. It has long been read as tenderness and affection, and by reversal as imposture, falsehood and disloyalty. The swords cross; the sea waits.
