I came across an article on the net concerning the Death card. I did a search here to see if had been discussed before but couldn’t find anything, so here goes.
Apparently there is a cave hidden in the RW deck. If you look to the bottom of the rider’s foot, there is an arrow which points to this cave. It is above the ship.
There were a couple of ideas as to why it is there.
One was that it could be a hint at Dante’s journey into the underworld. (Death and rebirth of the ego?) Apparently Virgil finds him lying exhausted in a dark wood possibly suggested on the Death card by the black trees by the cave’s entrance.
The other concerned Jesus’ resurrection or rebirth in a cave.
The fact that it is hidden so well on the card, what do you think that symbolizes?
Look forward to your views,
Gloria.
