Prompt: “Pull the Death card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?”
Modern Love Tarot – When I look at the imagery in this card, I see vanity, and how very fleeting beauty can be. That, in turn, speaks to me of the need to cherish the beauty in our lives while it is there, for it will not last forever… just as everything is temporary, so too is that. The advice I see in this card is about cherishing the good so that you can hold onto memories of these good things once things change.
Healing Waves Tarot – A brand new eco-system using the skull of the dead as its foundations is what I see in this card, and it speaks to me about what comes after loss. Change and loss create a void, and in time that void is filled with something new. We cannot have that something new that is to come until we have gone through the loss that precedes it. I would read this card as a reminder of what to look forward to, and a reassurance that something more is to come to fill the void left by what has been lost.
Dive To You Tarot – With change comes loss, and with loss often comes the painful feelings of grief. This card focuses on one’s grief, and encourages us to not shut it out but to experience it and process it. It’s okay to cry, or even rail at the universe for those things we have lost. It’s a part of letting go and processing what has been taken away and/or left behind by change that is upon us . It speaks of healthy processing rather than burying one’s feelings in the face of change.
Seasonal Fox Tarot Day Deck – A fox looks back and considers the shadows of the past and what is lost. In lingering too long, the fox is also then cast in shadow. Although, after change has happened, it is okay to look back now and then, make sure you do not linger in the past. Doing so keeps us from embracing the future and making the most of what is to come. When you consider living in the past instead of seeking the future, a part of your future dies along with what you’re already leaving behind.
