Death
The Art of Rebirth
Endings · Transformation · Rebirth · Release
This card is about endings, and the beginnings they make room for.
A woman with Día de los Muertos makeup sits confidently on a white horse — strong, almost immortal. In the field of poppies below, a baby blooms. That baby is my daughter.
And if you look closely, you might find the Emperor, almost hidden in the field. In traditional tarot he stands for power and control. Here, he is very small. A reminder that some of the most important chapters of our lives ask us to surrender what we cannot hold.
I released this card on 11.11, in Scorpio season, on Remembrance Day. I didn't plan the poppies. They were already in the painting, surrounding new life.
The Death card isn't about losing life. It's about making room for it.
You can read the full story behind this card on my Substack.
✦ BEHIND THE SYMBOLISM
In traditional tarot, Death is card XIII of the Major Arcana and represents endings, transformation, rebirth, and the release of what no longer serves us. It rarely means literal death. It is the death of what was, and the birth of what is to be.
The woman on the white horse is confident and strong — almost immortal, in my interpretation. The baby blooming in the poppies is new life arriving in the middle of a field of remembrance. And the tiny Emperor, nearly disappearing into that field, is the part of us that finally lets go of control.
✦ IF THIS CARD FINDS YOU...
Let this be your reminder that an ending is not always a loss.
Sometimes the version of something we knew has to end so that something more beautiful can grow in its place. A relationship. A dream. A version of ourselves.
You don't have to rush the becoming. You only have to make a little room.
