Death

When we choose Love, we experience a transformation, a form of Death, card 13. We find we have chosen Life

Transformation from Death into New Life

From the darkness of Ignorance 

To the bliss of Enlightenment

Wearing the black armour of the free person

With the red plume denoting Strength

Riding the white horse of Love and Devotion

Into New Being

Holding the black reins of Resurrection

The Black Banner flies above you

Emphasizing no allegiance to any earthly leader

The five-pointed rose denoting purity of Love

Love for the Spiritual, for the Divine

The fragrance of the flower

Bringing unparalleled Joy

Lying at your feet are all the False Loves

All the False World, the False Turns

Being left behind

Controller of your own world

You follow the River of Love

Leading through the Pillars of Paradise
