Hello. I'm Ellen Goldberg, and I welcome you to this tarot moment from the School of. In this segment, we're gonna take a look at the death card. Sometimes people get frightened when they get this card, but they shouldn't. It's far less about physical death than it is about the kind of death that is necessary in order to make a great transformation. Because there is now transformation without letting go of something, and that's a kind of a death. The Hebrew letter associated with this card is nun, n-u-n. And nun means fish, as a noun. But as a verb, it means to sprout and to grow. So in all truth, this card could equally be called life as well as death.
There is an intimation here that there is life after death, a new card, life because, in the card, if you look on the bright side, you see the sun rising. Because cards have a North, a South, and East and a West. And always, what you see as the card faces you, on the right, is the East, just like the full sun is rising in the East. We see the sun rising, indicating two, a new life in between two towers. Those towers are called. They are the towers sacred to that used to appear as markers of the boundaries of the known, and a crossroads in the ancient world. We see them here in front of the son to show we are going beyond the boundaries of the known. The river that you see in the card represents the union of change and eternity. There's a Pharaoh's boat on the river. Death here is ruled by the sign of Scorpio. No surprise. It's on a white horse that represents spirit. And we see every sort of person he is coming to. There is an emperor or a King already lying on the ground in this step.
We see a Pope greeting him. Perhaps he has prepared himself for death. But there is also a young girl and a small boy. The little child greets death, openly, easily. And if you have ever had the misfortune to watch a child die, perhaps of some early illness. You see how easily they accept their fate. Often times, he's also the skeleton. It's our most precious and secret treasure. It is the most eternal part of us, and it's androgynous. Oh, yes. Experts know which hips are a little bigger and which are a little smaller, but basically, the skeleton is our most enduring part and our own secret treasure. Did you know that Shamans, the world over in training as a part of initiation, are told to experience death as a symbolic part of initiation. Sometimes they have to see their own skeleton, even by sometime scraping the skin down to the bone, because it's hidden from us, this enduring part.
The would be just a massive of a lump of tissue. This holds us up. When you see the death card in your reading, know that on it's upper polarity, it's not talking about death. It's talking about change, transformation, the movement from one state of being to the next. And there's always a process in transformation, disintegration, growth and progress. Then, of course when it reaches it's zenith, in whatever it is, it starts it's decline, and the cycle starts again. This cycle has been repeated since time and memorial. On the lower polarity, yes, it sometimes can mean death. But usually, it means involuntary change, change that you have not invoked, that's difficult, or a living death. Boredom. Fear of death poisons us, and it's worse than death itself. And there is a kind of stunting of life that comes by people who fear death so, that their afraid to live. To make friends with death is to be able to live more fully. Will the tarot talk about death? Well, occasionally, it absolutely will. But it won't just give you the death card alone, say reversed or. This is a Scorpio-ruled card, and that's a water sign. If there is fire cards on either side, it's gonna bring out the worst of it. Maybe even a living, mental death, like schizophrenia. But if it's to be physical death, I have found that it will bring together two or three cards that also talk about death. The tarot knows how to do this and all in the same readings. Sometimes it will just line them up. Some of those cards might surprise you. We can assume, death is. But also, the Ace of swords reversed when combined with death, the to of swords combined with death, and even the sun reversed, because the sun is so alive on it's upper polarity, that it's lower polarity goes very low.

This card's energy is for all the Scorpio born babies out there to celebrate the pinnacle of the Witches New Year: Samhain (Oct 31- November 2). The motto, "out with the old and in with the new"! Death compells the Phoenix bird to rise out of its ashes! The eagle and scorpion are associated symbols that follow suit.

this could be answered so much more quickly. here it goes, death card = new beginning.

[@melissaclair1508]

I personally like long drawn out interpretations.

[@cynthiadennewith49]

I like the interpretation covering symbology, colors, signs, possible meanings applicable under different situations. And the depth and warmth as she tells the story of the card. How she ties the positive and negative of the symbology together with life lessons and spiritual growth.

[@dm7744]

That is vague as there are other cards that also could mean new beginning. That would really limit your reading abilities

Very interesting card. Thank you for bringing this wonderful channel video reading to us.

[@notofthisworld5267]

If the death card is beside a court card such as a king, page, queen or knight-it’s a literal death of someone! That’s easily seen and interpreted! Of course I tell exactly what I see to clients with no sugarcoating. Life isn’t just about positivity; it’s also about hard times, learning, tragedy, death, and experiences. Any tarot reader that tells you all positive stuff is no true reader, because they’re not being honest! Tell it like it’s! The good and bad.

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

As a professional reader, one must be very tactful when revealing "the bad".

[@youngdegenerate]

I think of it as old king is death and young king will rule now. Death eliminates the old to bring in new.

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are...Death awaits you."

Death card means death. I read August 23 to 30 horoscope and death card fell. We lost him on the 26th August.

[@edledskal9147]

This channel drew the death card. However, I think its all out of new beginnings. There is always a disproportion between subs and views, BUT in this channel is unusually disproportionate. Two days old video has less than 4,000 views with 6.9 million subs, that's insane. Going through their videos they were doing slightly better in 2016 getting in the 20-30k range on some but still, that is nothing for the sub count.

I’ve learned that the card XIII has no name, been called “the nameless card”. Should we call the card “The Death” or nameless card?

It can also mean physical death.

It certainly can depending on surrounding cards and circumstances. Even with physical death, there is new begginings for those left behind (the mourners) and the departed.
