Well, I remember when I first got my hands on the King of Blades tarot. It was like opening a brand – new toy box, full of excitement and a bit of confusion.
I started by simply shuffling the cards. You know, just the basic move, trying to get a feel for the texture of the cards and the energy they seemed to hold. I shuffled them real good, like I was mixing a big bowl of soup. Then, I laid them out on the table in a simple spread, just three cards in a row.
I stared at the King of Blades card in the spread. It looked so intense, with this guy holding a big sword, looking all serious. I didn’t really know what to make of it at first. So, I decided to do some research. I flipped through a few books I had about tarot, you know, the kind that look like old – fashioned storybooks. I read what the experts said about the King of Blades, like how it often represents logic, decision – making, and a bit of a no – nonsense attitude.

Next, I tried to connect it to my own life. I thought about the decisions I had to make recently. There was this project at work where I had to choose between two different approaches. I imagined the King of Blades as my little advisor, telling me to use my head and not let emotions cloud my judgment. So, I sat down, made a list of the pros and cons of each approach, just like the King of Blades would probably do.
As I kept using the King of Blades in my readings, I started to notice patterns. Whenever it showed up, it was usually a sign that I needed to be more rational. For example, once when I was thinking about buying a new gadget, the King of Blades popped up in a reading. I realized I was just being swayed by the shiny ads and not really thinking about whether I actually needed it. So, I held off on the purchase.
Over time, I got better at using the King of Blades effectively. I learned to trust my instincts when it came to interpreting its meaning in a reading. And it’s not just about the serious stuff. Sometimes, it also gives me a bit of a wake – up call to stop being so wishy – washy and just take action.
So, in the end, using the King of Blades in tarot readings is like having a tough – love friend by your side. It helps you cut through the BS and make smart choices. Whether it’s in work, relationships, or just daily life decisions, this card has become a valuable tool in my tarot – reading toolkit.
