The Tarot: XIII Death







First, the tarot provides a useful tool for meditation. Second, The Death card suggests a transformation and very rarely an actual, physical death. In the point, we explore the symbolism of the Death card. That is, we explain the skeleton, the white horse, and the dead king to name just a few symbols. Also, we delve into the card’s numerology.
