Death Card 1 - "Night"

Death Card 1 - "Night"

Who are you?
I am the death grip, the noose that came to choke the life out of you.  I am the itchy thing on the back of your neck, the poison flowing in your body. I am the spider that bit you.  I am the dursban that nearly killed you.  I am the bat that connects you to the dark underworld and the light.  I am the rope that kept you in bondage.  I am the eye that watched as you withered and died.  I am the tooth that held tight to old ways.  I am the candlelight that held vigil as you struggled.

What do you have to give me?
I came to give you a taste of death, to wake you up and  release you from your pain body and into fuller and greater consciousness. I came to release you from your fear of death.

What do you want from me?
I want you to listen to the beat of your own heart, to follow your own true path.  To be one with the knowingness of all things and to take your place as one who knows.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?
Yes, because of me you will learn acceptance is more than a word. Also, in order to live one must die, death is the beginning not the end.

How will i remember?
You will remember whenever your health has a reversal.  You will remember in the fall when the earth goes to sleep and dies a little death.

The relevance this card has in my life today is transformation.  One of moving beyond form into pure consciousness, transcending limitations, finding acceptance with what is and soaring back into the world.
