[2] Sword = “The sword is in essence composed of a blade and a guard ; it is therefore a symbol of ‘conjunction’, especially when, in the Middle Ages, it takes on the form of a cross. Among many primitive peoples it was the object of much veneration…Similarly, the Romans believed that iron, because of its association with Mars, was capable of warding off evil spirits (8)…Furthermore, given the cosmic sense of sacrifice…the sword is then seen as a symbol of physical extermination and psychic decision (60), as well as the spirits and word of God, the latter being a particularly common symbol during the Middle Ages (4). In this connexion, Bayley draws attention to the interesting relationship between the English words sword and word. There can be no doubt that there is a sociological factor in sword-symbolism, since the sword is an instrument proper to the knignt, who is the defender of the forces of light against the forces of darkness. But the fact is that in rites at the dawning of history, and in folklore even today, the sword plays a similar spiritual role, with the magic power to fight off dark powers personified in the ‘malevolent dead’…When it appears in association with fire and flames— which correspond to it in the shape and resplendence— it symbolizes purification. In alchemy, the sword is a symbol for purifying fire. The Western type of sword , with its straight blade, is, by virtue of its shape, a solar and masculine symbol…a symbol of spiritual evolution…This association of the sword with the tree is of great antiquity…It is also linked with steel as a symbol of the transcendent toughness of the all-conquering spirit.”
