How could you look at this card and be afraid of Death? My first feelings were how this card showed that there is life after change. Even though Death has a firm grip on the physical, everything else in the picture shows continuity.
Just as the snake sheds it's skin to be something new. And the sun always rises. The rising steam from the cauldron goes into the clouds to return again as rain.
The moss and ivy hanging on the tree are longevity plants.
There is tenderness in death, too. in letting go with compassion. It's almost like she's stroking the skull. To me, that would include forgiving the part of me that needs changing and letting death transform me into something new. WOW, is that a scary thought! Hh
