From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, Death; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Hemlock:
Death lends profound equality to all. ~Joan Halifax
We humans crave stability and security, desperate for something we can count on not to fall apart or disappear. Yet Death cares not; he swings his scythe wide and cuts down whatever is in its path making space for the new. We may escape a few sweeps, but we will not escape them all. As the Hemlock card symbolizes, we may feel as if we have been deceived and cheated. Yet as Vanessa Z. Goddard writes, "We can learn to move with instead of against that change, seeing that the stability we're looking for lies in our own ability to flow, not freeze."
