Halloween 2026: The King of Swords and the Secrets Behind the Mask
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026, bringing an evening of costumes, mystery, and playful encounters with the unknown.

A card of sharp intelligence, truth, and discernment seems an unusual companion for a night devoted to disguises and illusions. Yet perhaps that is exactly what makes the symbolism so interesting. While Halloween invites us to become someone else for a night, the King of Swords asks a very different question: what can we recognize when appearances no longer tell the whole story?
