ACE OF SWORDS
A two-edged sword is held by a hand that emerges from the clouds. Its point is encircled by a crown of victory. An olive branch (mercy) and a palm branch (severity) hang from it. Around the sword are six Hebrew Yods, recalling the six days of the Mosaic creation.
The card symbolizes Justice, which maintains the world order, the equilibrium of mercy and severity.
