XIII. DEATH

Release. Transformation. Rebirth. Transition. Change. Endings. Grief.
🜄 (aqua) | ♏︎ (Scorpio) | Separation (Discard)

The appearance of Death, like a black flag, signals that all identities previously named must now be laid to rest.

Let go of your guilt. Give up your grievances and release your shame. Remember that you are allowed to change and transition to a new path.

When darkness falls, gentle Thanatos—in tandem to twin brother Hypnos, Father of Dreams—softly dispels memories of false selves, bearing all to the shores of The Acheron in the hereafter.

Rebirth is not in the spectacle of death, but in the quiet journey to become reacquainted with the waters of life.
