THIS! That's exactly what this deck is for.
What is happening in the 6 coins? Is he hiding? And if so, from what? Is he shielding himself? He is armored, as if for war. Yet, the 6 coins are his protection.
What about the Sword Page? He kneels, as if in submission, not even wielding his sword. He has an audience. What he does, he does in public, where others can see. Is his supposed submission only for appearances, when others are watching?
In the two swords, the swords are encased and do not touch each other. What are the implications of this? I would lean more toward's Crowley's interpretation of the card, rather than RWS, solely due to the image on the card.
I just got il Meneghello's version of this deck. For me, the entire point is to toss out everything I know and just read what's actually on the cards.
