Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords is a Minor Arcana tarot card.
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]The Ten of Swords, can signify the end of a difficult cycle, despair, a major disaster, crisis, betrayal, or even hope and new beginnings after a disaster. It depicts a man, on some decks lying on the ground or on others, standing in a slumped position, stabbed by ten swords that are in his back.
