I. Analyze and describe 6 of Swords Thoth Tarot
On the card, the six swords folded into a six-pointed star shape (made up of two triangles joined together), symbolizing the intrusion of the invisible and tangible world. The tips of the swords touch the center of the red rose cross, which is also the heart of the cross engraved with the yellow rose made of six squares: the symbol of harmony and the desire to be introspective with the observation from the outside. This external effort (square) to find the truth hidden within (circle) corresponds to the journey of the inherent freedom to all wisdom: the desire for freedom due to the understanding of natural laws within. This card represents the craving for science but also maintains respect for the mysterious laws of life.
