The Pale horse carries the Grim Reaper:
The mixture of the image of Death with the traditional 10 of Swords (Ruin) is indeed a dark combination. Something material, a project or and idea has come to an end might be too gentle. Or here we are at rock bottom with only one way left to go….
Birds fly in the background and “Death” is the skull and body of a raven corpse – the raven is a recurring theme in the Mary El. Odin had two ravens he sent into the world - Huginn is Thought, and Muninn is Memory. The raven is also said to be a guide to the Otherworld. Ravens are also scavengers, cleaning up the remains of dead animals. The death of one, supports the life of another.
The Pale horse carries the Grim Reaper:
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
