Death
The Death card represents profound transformation and renewal that comes through releasing what no longer serves. Before approaching a new dawn, one must face the shadowy aspects of mortality and change, paying due respect to the natural cycles of endings and beginnings. Death takes away what is ready to be transformed so that something new can be born into the world. This card asks us to examine our readiness for transformation and what we are willing to release for the sake of rebirth.

Visual Description
A tall, dark-robed figure with a pale, mask-like face stands on a hilltop, its long cloak cascading down toward a winding path that leads over ridges. The sky is a murky green-yellow at sunset, with a slim crescent moon visible near the horizon. Low, rounded hills stretch into the distance beneath the figure, and the scene is framed by black borders showing the Roman numeral XIII at both top and bottom. The overall palette is muted greens and ochres, giving the landscape an eerie, quiet stillness.
