"AOS stands for Ace of Swords. The reason for this is that the Ace of Swords is one of the most powerful cards in the tarot deck. It symbolizes power, the righteous intellect, and the inevitability of success. With power, however, comes responsibility. Because from power, follows peril. Thus is the double-edged nature of the sword. To risk is necessary to overcome. To risk is necessary to be rewarded. To wield the sword valiantly, and to walk bravely into the night, with only the moon’s glare upon the sword’s steel to light the path forward. This is what we stand for. We are AOS, and we’d like to welcome you to the movement. "
