Five of Swords
inverse
Harm, evil, turn for the worse.
This card carries defeat. It is a function of destiny. It represents destruction of our present paradigm as it relates to society and order as a prerequisite to understanding and spiritual awakening. It promises a reward that lies only in defeat. "The intellect has been enfeebled by sentiment. The defeat is due to pacifism. Treachery may also be implied". A. Crowley
