Sulis
A stark, white, upright sword stands alone against a black background. The black fades to white and it could even be rain. Behind the sword are 2 lightning strikes, both aimed at the upward pointing sword blade.
Wrapped around the sword hilt and blade in the shape of an upright lemniscate or a figure 8 is a rainbow coloured serpent which has no end - it's eating it's tail although the head is very difficult to make out.
I love this card, it says so much more to me than the regular hand emerging from a cloud, offering a sword.
I've pulled this card a lot lately and one of the main messages that I'm getting from it is that in order for there to be healing, there has to be some pain.
The never-ending rainbow coloured serpent eating it's tail makes me think of a caduceus and so is a healing symbol for me and the lightning says pain (I am waiting for an operation though and have been experiencing a lot of pain recently so that's possibly why I'm getting this interpretation).
On a less personal note, the lightning could be that spark of inspiration, the thought that starts something off, or the conversation that starts something off.. .This is often the 'lightbulb moment' card for me when an idea is first formed or something becomes clear.
The Ace of Swords is often a card of justice and truth too and this image goes well with that.. It could be the sword held by Justice and the lemniscate echoes that.
A call to action, a call for truth but also a card of healing.
