Card 20

Judgement

Brief Description

Judgement signals absolution, spiritual awakening, and a higher calling that prompts personal remaking and important decisions. The card's imagery of foxes rising from their graves suggests a reckoning and the opportunity to move on to a new phase. It signifies clarity and understanding—perhaps an epiphany or spiritual awakening—that reveals the consequences of past actions. In its shadow, the card warns of denial or an unwillingness to accept reality and move forward, while reversed meanings point to doubt, guilt, and missed opportunities.

Visual Description

A tall, red-haired figure stands in profile, blowing a curved horn upward toward a moonlit sky. The figure wears or is draped with a fox pelt whose head rests near the shoulder, and tattoos or markings are visible on the arm. Around the figure's feet and in the surrounding landscape lie skeletal forms of animals and bones, interspersed with bright poppy-like flowers. The scene is set in an oval frame with stars and a large circular moon behind the central figure, and the word 'Judgement' appears on a banner at the bottom while 'XX' is shown at the top.
