0. Death
...In the beginning, there is death. It is what we often fear most and know so little about. We imagine it as the soundless dark void where there is nothing, everywhere. But in this oracle, death marks the start. Perhaps, it is here that we can finally see death not as the impending force of doom we so fear, but rather as an escort to our next chapter. It is the end of a cycle and opens a door for a new lifetime to unfold.
~
upright meaning:
great beginnings • second chances • restoration
If death comes up in a reading, do not be alarmed. Take the hand that guides you as if it belonged to an old friend and grab tightly. For death, in this oracle, is a sign of life: it can represent a grand beginning, a second chance at living, or mastering two lives in one lifetime. Beginnings can also be restorative, and it is more often than not that we forget to realize the beauty in the infancy of things.
reversed meaning:
holding on - stubborn - halted growth
Death reversed suggests that you are holding on too tightly to something that needs to be let go of. This tight grasp that you have is halting your growth as a spiritual being. A new beginning is trying to take form and by refusing change you are diminishing your options. Let go, it may hurt for now, but not for long.
