Welcoming Death

Welcoming Death.  It looks awful, doesn’t it?

Regardless, the Death card is probably my favourite in the tarot deck.

It doesn’t represent literal death, as most people seem to believe.

It means a “death” of negativity or a situation that no longer suits you. I find this a particularly fitting card to feature in the opening days of the New Year because if and when you see it in a tarot card spread, I’d like you to welcome it, instead of shun it.

Make no mistake about it, most people shun it.

I’ve had people in face to face readings literally throw their hands in front of their face and demand I put it back.

I did no such thing. In every spread I’ve come across the Death card, it’s been an overwhelmingly positive card. It looks grim, no doubt about that. But in order for there to be life, there must be death to bring forth a new cycle in your life.

Even online, people react adversely when this card comes up. I’ve had people tell me to throw it back, as one would a fish in a lake, and try another card.

But I wouldn’t. Everyone needs a significant transformation in their lives, and the Death card the shows it coming. Sometimes, Death shows up just to show a transition needs to be made; that more freedom and independence are on their way and the person getting the reading needs to be prepared for it.

Death in your cards is good.

Unless.

There’s always an unless, isn’t there?

In this case, the only time Death wouldn’t be good is if the reader doing a tarot card reading for you tried to convince you it means literal death.

Because the thing is, I don’t look for death. No psychic does.

In the exquisitely rare situation where we see death, it is always a shock.

When and where we do see death we never, ever say anything about it.

We can be wrong, remember?

We know like few others how quickly and rapidly events can change.

All it takes is one quick decision we can’t foresee to undo the death we see. There are many of those.

So to accurately see literal death, we would need to be on call, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, for the whole of your life.

That we cannot do.

One of the most important jobs of a psychic is to put ourselves in your place, and thus ask ourselves the questions you might.

So, when I put myself in any reader of this blog’s place, I’d ask, “But Leah, have you ever seen death, and that person died?”

Well, yes. Yes, I have.

“Did you tell the person?”

No, I couldn’t.

This is the other aspect potential clients need to understand. In the handful – and I do mean single handful in nearly two decades of reading – where I’ve seen death, the person doing the dying didn’t come to me for a reading.

They came to me in dreams to say goodbye before I even knew they’d left this earth, or were planning to.
I didn’t get the opportunity to warn, plead with the universe, or cajole the person who was doing the dying.

I could only see.
