Jack of Swords

In Kabbalah, the Jack is a messenger or envoy. Swords are will, action, thought, and information.

Therefore, the Jack of Swords is a messenger, envoy, or indicator that will, action, thought, or information is ready to manifest at a specific point of reality. For example, it may symbolize a soldier ready to carry out an order.

The distinguishing feature of the Jack of Swords is that it indicates readiness for action, will, thought, or information to manifest through obedience. It often also shows who obeys whom.

The reversed Jack of Swords usually points to resistance to obedience: a threatening pose, antisocial behavior, or demonstrative gestures by those not truly ready.
