Death
(La Mort)

In relationships, Death can mark the end of a phase, whether through growth or closure. Spiritually, it emphasises rebirth, renewal, and the cycles of life.
Keywords:
Transformation, endings, rebirth, change, renewal, transition, letting go, closure, release, metamorphosis.
This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.
The Hanged Man
(Le Pendu)
Symbolism:
The Hanged Man is shown suspended upside-down by one foot from a live tree, with his free leg bent to form a cross-like shape. His serene expression suggests surrender rather than distress. This represents enlightenment gained through sacrifice or altered perspective. The tree may symbolise the axis mundi, a bridge between worlds.

(L'Amoureux)

Meaning:

However, it also highlights the necessity of making meaningful decisions, often at a crossroads where the heart and mind must collaborate.
