Due to their basics design, the aces, twos and threes are treated in the same thread. See The Gothic Tarot by Vargo Study Group for more informations.
Ace Of Swords:
The Ace is very simple, it is a sword, with a red gem, the pointy end down. The sword is surrounded by red, personaly I would say blood, but you might have a different opinion on that.
Blood is the essence of life, the food of the vampires. Power is gained from it.
Two Of Swords:
There's an engraved skeleton with a crown and bat wings. There is a design right below it with four spirals. On top of the spirals are two swords, each with a red gem, crossing each other, making a x.
The swords have a similar position than in the Rider-Waite deck, except that here no one is holding the swords. By not seeing anyone, we can imagine a possible dual between two persons, when the opposants are still judging each other. The tension between them.
Three Of Swords:
There's a red heart here that has been stabbed by three swords, each with a red gem. There are four spirals on the heart, each at the entry or the exit of the swords in the heart. There is also a bat on the center of the heart.
This card too is very similar to the Rider-Waite deck. We can easily imagine the pain with this image, and the strong feeling of betrayal.
