XIII · Death
Death
It is radical and inevitable transformation. An armored skeleton rides a white horse, bearing a black banner with the white five-petaled rose. In its path kings and commoners fall alike, while in the background the sun is reborn between two towers. It is not an end, but the threshold of a rebirth.
Meaning
In the light · upright
Transformation, necessary end, rebirth, liberation.
In shadow · reversed
Resistance to change, stagnation, fear, agony.
Mantra
“What dies in me fertilizes what is yet to be born.”
