Death by Lorraine Candy

Death

I must let go what serves me not

Release my fears to chance

Embrace the change of me within

To grow, I must advance.

Trust, I will with fiery heart

In what I may not see

Death XIII

Tarot de Marseille Deck

XIII Death

I, as a tarot reader, do not forecast death in the physical sense when Death is dealt in a reading. However, whichever way we look at Death, it is a disconcerting card. But is it really? If I take the first word that comes to mind when I see Death, it's most definitely Transformation – how does death transform, one might ask. To find this answer, firstly we look to Mother Nature. Everything in nature transforms, the caterpillar becomes the butterfly, and even dung feeds the earth. There’s nothing that dies in nature that doesn’t become part of something better, something more wholesome than before. Death can also thereby be taken into consideration in a more figurative manner, Death of old habits or death of the way things used to be. Ending a cycle so that a new one can begin. Closing old doors that just don’t open anymore, and finding a wonderful door with a whole new world, this pertaining to relationships, work, illness, or just thought patterns. So in a figurative way, death basically indicates that changes are to be made, so best take cognizance of your situation and bring about improvements, before it all crashes down around you! Change is after all one of the few things in life that is inevitable.

Firstly, today's cards are jumpers, which refer to cards that jump out the deck while shuffling the cards. I find jumpers to be of utter importance as they highlight what I truly need be aware of, needless to say I am not going ahead with the reading I had planned to do earlier this morning, but rather focus on these two jumpers. Already I contemplate on two, and the significance of Two.  Conflict, joint, parts of one, unison, or in the case of these two cards, the connection.
