Double edged swords give us symbolism of duality of nature and the dual powers of manifestation. Here we see creation as well as destruction (death and life) housed in this one instrument. I rather like the making of the sword itself - its creation - as a further source of symbolism. Sword making is an ancient and honorable craft which utilizes all the Elements of the auniverse. Fire, Water, Air, and Earth are all involved with the birthing of the sword and as such we can incorporate symbolism of unity, balance, totality and creativity with the meaning of swords. Seen from all angles, given time, and contemplation you will begin to see your own personal sword symbolism. For example, I utilize the sword as a meditative tool - visualizing it slicing through any haze or ambiguity I am experiencing in the moment. Quite effective. Whether you are looking for a symbol of Strength and Passion not Weakness and Resentment or a symbol of balance it should be clear the sword encapsulates a myriad of meanings from which to choose. Invest the time to meditate upon the philosophical depths of the sword - discover your own personal meanings of this object.
