I think that for a lot of people, the first card they hear about in the tarot deck is death, and how it doesn't necessarily mean actual death, but the end of one thing and the start of something else.
I really like this card in the Robin Wood deck. I love the colors and I also feel that it is not a "threatening" looking as a lot of other decks. As I was sitting here trying to get this post started and I was glancing at this card, I saw that the figure was holding a staff of some sort, but once it went up over his shoulder I couldn't figure out what it was.... it looked like some metal pole with holes. Then I started looking at the big white rose behind the figure and was wondering what the black behind it was... and then it dawned on me that the figure is holding a black flag with a white rose on it. How on earth had I never noticed that it was a flag???!
I tell you what, these study groups really have me looking and thinking!!
*Edit to add that I love the crimson color of the robe in this card, though I don't have the Robin Wood book, but I know that crimson is associated with rebirth and starting new, so I would imagine that is why she used this beautiful color!
