does death look like its doing a litttle happy happy joy joy jig?
Centaur said:LOL. It does! I was reading Duquette's book last night, and he states that Death in the Thoth is quite different to Death in the RW.
Death in the Thoth is very fluid and dynamic... the images in the card depict putrifecation, which according to Crowley, is the very stuff of life itself... it is the re-uniting of the spirit with the wider universe... i'm not quite sure I am remembering this correctly, so smack me if I am wrong.
Duquette writes that Death seems to writhe on an ocean floor, and that he seems to be stirring up new-life in with his scythe.
I like it!
