Death is not a final annihilation to be feared, but a necessary part of the cycle of existence: without death there world be no life. Thus, Death is not the last card but, with The Hanged Man, marks the transition from the first half of the pack to the second. The sacrifice of the ego, symbolized by The Hanged Man, frees us to cross the dark river Styx that divides the material from the spiritual world.

The image of Death, a skeleton carrying a scythe which symbolizes the severance and liberation of the self from the body, also carries the number thirteen, forbidding in itself. But death is part of the initiation into the spiritual world. In all mystery religions and shamanic traditions, the initiate had to undergo a secret ceremony in which he or she "died" and journeyed across the dark river to whatever lay beyond. Death brings us face to face with this transforming experience.

Divinatory Meaning: blessing in disguise, end of prevailing negative situation, profound inner changes.

Reversed: inertia, lethargy, stagnation.
