78 weeks of study DruidCraft Death
First impression:
I feel like this is in the bayou in Louisiana, very mysterious and foreboding. Then I see the loving look on the goddess face, The eagle in the sky is the same at the one in the emperor, also the snake behind, and above her is all about transformation.. Now I feel like there is much more to this card that I am not seeing. It is like she can See beyond the Vail into the other side. I defiantly get the feeling that there is more to be reviled.
Talking with the card: I asked her what the men are behind her, she said” It is the face of the god to remind her of him when he is gone” also I got the impression it was the male god she was putting in the cauldron. when he is reborn she is in her younger guise.
Earlier in the week when I asked the card to show me what I need to learn about the card some thing happened in this reality .
I was in an AA meeting and one of the guy's said before closing “ The old alcoholic, deceiving, bad me is dead “ , "I am a new person in recovery."
I think the above statement is so true of the card
Bringing it all together
Between the number and the eagle you can see this card relates to the emperor . I believe this card it is about the natural order of things. Scorpio rules this card and there is a lot water which I think softens the emperor a little bit. But also this card is about ebb and flow. The dawn . the snake and the cauldron of rebirth are about ending of one part and beginning of another.
Unlike other death cards you can see the compassion in the goddess's face, and she is about to place the skull in the cauldron. The burial mound way in the back talks about and ending.
Looking at this card I think more about Baptism, or what a caterpillar goes through before it turns into a butterfly, only I think this card is just as much about the cocoon as it is bout the butterfly.
Good , The Bad, And the Indifferent
Good: Accepting change because for a new beginning we need the old to die. We can not grown with out change and if we are not growing eventually we will decay. The beginning of transformation
Bad. Unwilling to accept change, Hanging on to status quo. afraid to move forward , stagnation
Indifferent: Change for change sake , a new cycle is started . Like the phoenix rising from its own ashes.
