Card Title

XIII/Death (Skeleton)

Meaning

All endings make way for new beginnings. An abrupt, totally unexpected change. Destruction followed by new growth. Release from old patterns. New ideas and opportunities.

Visual Description

A grinning skeleton stands in a colorful, slightly surreal graveyard holding a red watering can. Pumpkins with jack-o'-lantern faces, a black cat, ferns and a moth crowd the foreground while crosses, one marked with an ankh, and a vulture appear among tombstones behind. A distant stone castle sits on a green hill under a moon and a small planet, and two large smiling flower faces loom at the top edge. The scene mixes traditional funerary symbols with playful, lively elements and a tiled path runs along the bottom.
