Description of the Image

On Judgment Day, the Angel sounded the trumpet to proclaim the Truth. All Souls will rise to this call and present their actions for everyone to see and judge. The Spirit will be cleansed by the searing light and fire to become impeccable.

The Time of Reckoning

For each person, there comes a time when an account must be made. It's a time to evaluate the life stage that has just passed, to understand and assess with impartiality and honesty towards oneself. Every action has its result; depending on whether it is good or bad, it will either be rewarded or need forgiveness, purification, and atonement. After this follows the transition to the next phase, rebirth, and flawless reputation, to begin anew.

Symbolism of Red Poppies

Red poppies symbolize sleep and death and are sometimes offered as a tribute to the deceased. Their blood-like color stains the fields, shimmering and beautiful. From this life-filled space gently swaying in dark red and gold, butterflies rise to carry human Souls forward to the metamorphosis of the Spirit. The space of freedom and the infinite blue await them on the other side.

Meaning

Liberation, absolution, relief, and renewal, forgiveness, freshness of a new dawn, and the beginning of a new life. Making a judgment, even if it is harsh and difficult, requires meeting it courageously. Facing these decisions, understanding their necessity, and forgiving them. A new awakening, the mystery of birth and death. The voice of Destiny calls you forward. Hearing this clear call and acting according to it; knowing what needs to be done.
