In the Major Arcana of the Tarot,the card of Death isn’t really a bad thing, which is why it was so awkward when this writer burst into tears and hid under a table the final time it came up during a reading. No, and in the world of Tarot,Death means an ending as well as a new beginning. Rather than appearing as a pale demon or a portent of doom, Death is there to let us know that every season has to pass for the next one to open.
