Description
This ancient dust. Her lungs reek of it. This stuckness. And her fragmented selves want to fight their way beyond the self-made tethers. She could open her heart to clearly see the rebirth that is being offered, but sometimes it's just so hard to see. The Muse smiles down to remind us to just let go . . . and to allow the old to decay in order to create the nutrients for the new. Fill your lungs with the crisp air of something unexperienced, and know that these beautiful, fertile grounds will be the brewing pot for things you have dreamed of, but not yet found. Let go of the things that have kept your lands sterile, and rise in your rebirth. Awaken to the truth that everything you need is inside of you, and from this perspective of seeing new growth, may you notice that from a distance, a burial and a planting look a whole lot alike.
Poem
Age-ing the sage, and sage-ing the age-less Transcendence, ascendance let's rise from our cages. Decaying the frayed And changing formations Rebirth and renewal forcing forth new creations.
Visual Description
At the top of the card a label reads '13. DEATH'. A large moth with outstretched wings dominates the center, positioned over a serene face with closed eyes at the bottom. Two mirrored, draped female figures rise in graceful arcs on either side, their white garments forming a cruciform shape. A delicate spiderweb and fine threads studded with small red beads weave across the middle ground, and faint concentric patterning fills the sky behind the imagery.
