Edmonton Tarot: Death (XIII)

Interpretation: Drawing the Death card often scares the bejesus out of people because they assume it means that they or someone they love will die. But actually, this card rarely indicates physical death. Usually it just indicates the end of something significant -- a relationship, a job, a phase in one's life, an attitude, a belief system, etc. The change is final and irrevocable, though.

Image: Since the end of something usually means the beginning of something else, isn't death really a form of recycling? And speaking of recycling, the City of Edmonton has one of the best recycling programs in North America! There is extensive recycling of not only paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metal but also electronics and environmentally sensitive waste. Organic waste is composted and returned as topsoil to our city parks and gardens.
