Cosmic Symbolism

The World Tree Yggdrasil, dawn and starry night, the wise raven and soul-lanterns that hang upon it. This is the story of endings, harmony and accord of all existence, the completing turn of the hero's path and the cycle of all that occurs in the universe.

Eternal Cycles

Always 'something ends, something begins.' And regardless of its coloring, it brings good.

Visual Description

A large, textured tree trunk fills the center of the card, its branches stretching to the edges. Several lanterns hang from the branches and one holds a small key; a black crow perches on a right-side limb. A star-speckled night sky with a crescent moon and a pale sun rising at the horizon form the background, and a ribbon banner at the bottom reads “THE WORLD” while the top shows the roman numerals XXI.
