Five of Swords

Tarot of Magical Forest

   

   Mostly number five represents a hard lesson to learn, obstacle, challenge in physical and spiritual space. We need to overcome this challenge ir order to grow stronger. All the 5 s – in suits therefore have the energy of struggle, fight, or loss, sadness, emotional and physical pain.

The angel ruling number 5 is Sandalphon. You need to realize the hidden power of your voice, intentions and actions in world. Everything has ripple effect from inside out, no matter if you realize it or not. You need to understand, not everything is given to you by "default", but you need to go through an intitiation process, in order to win and achieve your higher destiny. 5 is represented by the sacred sign of Pentagram - where all elements come together, they are summoned. All your darkness, negative qualities and past issues, will come to light with energy of 5. 

   The major Arcana equivalent of 5 is the Hierophant – spiritual teacher, who has come to a certain soul level, has spiritual authority and higher level of initiation.
