One thing I haven’t mentioned (I was waiting to see if someone wanted to bring it up) was the emergence of faces from the red wall behind the mourning goddess. Two are obviously infants, but there are other, older faces behind them. The same type of figures appear on the next card, Judgment, so it might be interesting to see if and how they change.
Not every pagan believes in reincarnation, but many do. And for those who do, Death is an event in a cycle. The mourning goddess beating the drum of life is a very apt symbol, IMO.
