The death is without doubts a figure that fills of fear and uncertainty to us. When it leaves revealed in the distance of letters of the tarot, no consulting one seems to feel to taste, and the single vision of this arcane one wakes up the most ingrained fears of our personality. Will happen something bad or to some dear being? Somebody is going to die next? Calm, it thus does not have why to be. This so linear interpretation of the meaning of all the arcane ones is an error that the tarotistas little experienced or amateurs usually commit. Who is experienced in the reading of letters knows that the tarot is much more that a code that says to certain letters certain interpretation corresponds univocally. In the case of the death, first that prevails it is a pormenorizacin of the rich meaning including in the illustration of the arcane one. In order to begin, diverse illustrations exist that are applied this arcane one. Nevertheless, to the aim of accounts, the general meaning is the same.
In some mallets the Death is illustrated like a powerful Gentleman, who it comes to announce that the present order of the things will finish in the very near future. As we see, there is no reference to direct deaths, mainly if the letter does not leave inverted. The Gentleman who advances in his horse says to us that the things we know as them finished, are a new government, and new rules, and we will have to adapt with speed to this new ordering, if we do not want to perish. The king is dead, lives the king. In other versions of the Death, we directly see the popular figure of the Sparing one, the human skeleton with its sickle, cutting the buds that arise from the Earth.
If we watched carefully I bring forth, it they are small human heads, slanted neither or appear of the ground. In this case, the Death approaches more the Biblical figure of the Apocalypse, the aim of a earthly cycle to pass to a state superior of the things. But we will not have to fear, because one is a beneficial change for the consulting one. In both scenes it is clear that one demands a great quota of meekness and sacrifice on the part of the consulting one, that, like a humble farmer, will have to bend the head and knowledge to be useful what provides to him the destiny. The message, really, announces changes, great mutations, inevitable transformations like the same death, but it knows them to the person to accept and to capitalize this situation to its favor, will leave beneficiary. The letters of the tarot have the wisdom to always leave a door open so that the extra-sensory ability of the tarotista can find the interpretation final.
