Crowley Countdown - Day 9
every Change is the effect of an Act of Love;
all Acts of Love contain Pure Joy.
Die daily.
Death is the apex of one curve of the snake Life:
behold all Opposites as necessary complements, and rejoice."
-Aleister Crowley
This card is probably the most feared of all, in the major arcana of the tarot. But this card does not represent physical death. The concept of death, symbolically, means change. Change in the sense of moving from one state to another. Nothing can change without what once was becoming what is now. The moment of inertia before something changes is death.
In the earliest tarot decks this card was unnamed. That which is unnamed.
Death is a dance in which we will all join at some point. This card reminds us to enjoy everything fully, for all things will ultimately change.
