I picked Death as my favorite card in this deck. I find it incredibly serene. I don't see just lifeless grey, but the hair and skin both seem to have a golden glow.
The way the hair floats out in all directions evokes the ritualistic floating of a body down the river. The black eyes, I feel, are the abyss that gazes back at you.
With the scythes and the blood red leaf. I didn't make this connection myself, but I completely agree!The praying mantis is the grim reaper in this card.

(Companion book, pp. 8, 46)The abyss is...introspection - looking within yourself. Naked, you can see yourself for what you really are.
