Ist leider gar nicht so einfach... ich könnte mich auch ohrfeigen aber ich kann ihn einfach nicht vergessen :-(

es gibt ein buch ueber ''wie hoeren sie auf zu rauchen?'' - ganz einfach: indem
sie es nich mehr tun. wie fundamental simple das doch klingt, aber so schwer
ist, umzusetzen. einfach was nicht tun, ohne aufwand. was haelt dich zurueck?

kans dir nicht sagen, wie ich aufgehoert habe. es passierte einfach nicht mehr,
dass ich zur kippe griff, genauso, wie es damals einfach passierte, dass ichs tat.

bin ich dir damit keine grosse hilfe? - sorry! was ich meine ist, dass es im
inneren nicht mehr ''geschaltete'' wird. und cih gleube, es geht so lange, wie du
es ''naehrst''. loslassen ist das beduerfnis nicht mehr zu fuettern... glaub ich...

Ist leider gar nicht so einfach... ich könnte mich auch ohrfeigen aber ich kann ihn einfach nicht vergessen :-(

du musst ihn ja auch nicht vergessen; eher etwas anderem prioritaet geben.
er kann in deiner erinnerung sitzen und spinnweben bekommen... aber du
interagierst nicht mehr damit. denn mit einer mumie spielt es sich nicht gut.

 

[Luonnotar]

Ist leider gar nicht so einfach... ich könnte mich auch ohrfeigen aber ich kann ihn einfach nicht vergessen :-(

noch was:

warum willst du dich ohrfeigen? warum tust du dir noch mehr weh?
noch mehr, als du es ohnehin schon tust, indem du diesen typen nicht loslaesst.
nutze deine liebe fuer dich... statt dir weh zu tun...

tralala, ich habe heute auch den tod als tageskarte. bin auch nicht sonderlich erfreut...
aber da ich pu-mo akut habe, wundert es mich nicht...

es hat auch schon im getriebe geknirscht. da bewegt sich was, tief unten im gewoelbe...
das das nur immer so tierisch schmerzhaft sein muss?!?!?! ich sehe es ja ein, und jeder
andere wohl auch, die leichen im keller sie niemals angenehm, und keiner fasst sie gerne
an... aber hey, ich haette es gerne ein wenig leichter! habt mitleid und geduld...

DEATH

Basic Card Symbols

Skeletal Death, black robes or armor, sometimes with a scythe or a flag featuring a white rose on a desolate black field. There is often a rising sun. Sometimes there are other figures in the field. The most common, reoccurring figure on Death cards is a child.

Basic Tarot Story

Having left the tree from where he hung, the Fool moves carefully through a fallow field, head still clearing from visions. The air is cold and wintry, the trees bare. Before him, he sees, rising with the sun, a skeleton in black armor mounted on a white horse. He recognizes it as Death. As it stops before him, he humbly asks, "Have I died?" He feels, in fact, rather empty and desolate. And the Skeleton answers, "Yes, in a way. You sacrificed your old world, your old self. Both are gone, dead." The Fool reflects on that, "How sad." Death acknowledges this with a nod. "Yes, but it is the only way to be reborn. A new Sun is rising, and it is, for you, a time of great transformation." As Death rides away, the Fool can feel the truth in those words. He, too, feels like a skeleton, all that he was stripped away. This, he understands, is how all great transformations start, by stripping things to the bone, and building fresh upon the bare foundations.

Basic Tarot Meaning

Yes, the Death card can signal a death in the right circumstances (a question about a very sick or old relative, for example), but unlike its dramatic presentation in the movies, the Death card is far more likely to signal transformation, passage, change. Scorpio, the sign of this card, has three forms: scorpion, serpent, eagle. The Death card indicates this transition from lower to higher to highest. This is a card of humility, and it may indicate the Querent as being brought low, but only so that they can then go higher than they ever have before. Wang notes that Death "humbles" all, but it also "exults." Always keep in mind that on this card of darkness, there is a sunrise as well. .

Thirteen's Observations

The connection of sex and death in Scorpio (the sign stands for both) is a strong indication of what this card is all about. We westerners see "Death" as a frightening card because we often see Death as an end, and we hate for things to come to an end. However, in other traditions, Death is just a natural and important, if sad part of an on-going cycle. In a karmic sense, you die so that you may be reborn. Winter comes so that there can be a spring, and we can only appreciate what we have when we know that there is loss. The Death card signals such things. This is a time of change. Time for something to end; but time also for something new to begin. The Querent may honestly be told that they may feel sad or empty, low, but that this will give him a way to rise again, like a phoenix from the ashes. Death is not the end. It is only the precursor to resurrection.

The Tarot's Death Card: A Symbol of Transformation
Geraldine Amaral As published in Nexus - Colorado's Holistic Journal

Every exit is an entry somewhere else. - Tom Stoppard

Every time you settle for the unacceptable you suffer a small death. - Stephen C. Paul

THE TAROT'S DEATH CARD, key #13 of the Major Arcana, does not mean physical death. Rather, the Death card portrays symbolic death-a change or transformation. Often, it heralds the end of a familiar or more comfortable mode. It conveys a release which is necessary for growth and expansion. Perhaps it even brings a whole new set of principles which will guide you spiritually, emotionally, psychologically or financially. Joseph Campbell, author of A Hero with A Thousand Faces, describes times of personal change as periods when "The familiar life horizon has been outgrown; the old concepts, ideals, and emotional patterns no longer fit; the time for the passing of a threshold is at hand." The sunrise depicted in the background of the Death card holds the promise of the transformation which is about to take place: the death of the old self, but also the dawning of a new day. The Death card is a cue that you are at a "threshold"-a crossing into a new phase, unbounded by the past.

If you are casting the cards in a Tarot reading for another person, as a sensitive reader, you should always address this card immediately when it appears in a reading, and then go back to the rest of the reading. The "Seeker" (who is receiving the reading) should be reassured that the "death" being depicted here is symbolic and transformational, not literal. You might even encourage the individual to discuss his or her reactions to the card, relating it to events that may be occurring in his or her life. The white rose which the Death figures holds is the symbol of rebirth. It also portrays the mystery which surrounds death and transformation. Since there is no Tarot card that specifically portrays birth, we may wonder: Is the Death card really the birth card? The cycles of life, especially birth and death are mysterious and paradoxical. Such mystery is embedded in the Tarot's system. It is meant to challenge you and allow you to explore the meaning of life on a deeper level and from a broader perspective.

When this card appears in your reading, it may be an invitation to embrace change and transformation, especially as it refers to your consciousness or past lifestyle. As such, it represents the quintessential example of "letting go." It's appearance may encourage you as you are clearing out the old and making way for the new. You can even meditate on the Death card in a creative visualization process, allowing its potent imagery to infuse your unconscious with its implied invitation to trust the process of transformation and release. The Death card can assist you in dissolving any negative forces which, knowingly or unknowingly, have taken root in your unconscious mind.

At other times, the Death card may appear in your reading when there are changes which you know you need to make but which you are resisting. The potent Death imagery may serve to remind you that the more you hate something and the more you run from it, the more you are bound to it. You are caught by that which you seek to avoid. Resistance leads to persistence and sometimes that resistance to a problem or situation may actually help to maintain it. The Death card may help you to release resistance. As the symbolism makes contact with your deep mind, it retrieves the more elevated doctrine that shows the meaning of death in a broader context. You can never know what miracles, what healing, what insight or growth might come to you through the difficult times of your life and as you face life's challenges. It is likely that the Spirit flowing through your periods of change or difficulty will bring an expanded life, a greater self or a greater good. The symbolic death that follows may allow you to move forward. For example, perhaps you are holding onto friendships that are no longer supportive or nurturing. Perhaps your career or job is no longer satisfying. The Death card's appearance in your reading may be inviting you to deliberately address the issues at hand regarding these changes. Perhaps Death asks, "Is it time to let go and move on? Can you trust that some greater good will come to you as you surrender to the change?"

It can be one of life's greatest challenges to know when it is time to let go and allow "death" to claim whatever is being embraced. Meditation on the Death card may allow you to discern if, and when, it is time to let go, to mourn and grieve if necessary, and prepares you to be open to whatever is next. The Death card may guide you through a loss or sorrow so that you will not dwell on it excessively.

If you are in the midst of a difficult life challenge, the Death card may also represent the process of spiritual purification in which you gain a deeper understanding of the love of a higher force. That is, often during times of adversity, you may be called to turn to a higher force to guide and sustain you. The Death card challenges you to expand your spiritual beliefs, allowing more of Spirit to touch and heal you. It also holds great hope-the hope that you can start over, embark on a new journey. As we are purged of the old, we are lighter, more receptive-we are freed of the past, ready to start on a new course.

The darkness of winter is upon us; we have pause to contemplate death's message. As we hunker down into the chill, Nature reminds us that death is part of the cycle of life. All the signs of winter, the bare trees, the raw cold, the barren terrain may keep our spirits at bay. But we can keep Death's emblem of transformation in our hearts, allowing it to remind us that there is a sunrise in the horizon and it holds the promise of a new dawn.

The death tarot card sits at number 13.

Everything which is born is destined to die. Our very first death is our birth. Before birth we are at one with the mother, safe and nurtured. Our passage into the physical world is an initiation into the human condition of duality and fear. We find ourselves alone, separate from all that had sustained us and likely to die without care and attention.

Note that the Empress who symbolises Mother Nature sits at number 3 showing the interrelation between birth and death.

When many people come for their first Tarot reading they have extreme anxiety about seeing the Death card in their reading. Suspicion and modern day hype have created a myth around the card which instills fear, fear and more fear. In truth the card depicts transformation and life itself. Everything which is born is destined to die, whether that be a human being, business, relationship, or a daisy in the field.

The Death card is equivalent to old father time, and in medieval cards was sometimes depicted holding an hour glass. Each man’s life is as long as his life, no more nor less. We are born, learn to walk, transform from child to adult, give up our ego consciousness to find unity through sexual expression, move house and retire. All of these and many, many more are symbolised through the death card. The Ages of Man is a classic symbol, depicting a youngster through to old age and right at the end is death himself, waiting to great you.

It is extremely rare for the Death card to actually mean a physical death. If it does indicate death then it means that the questioner has recently suffered a bereavement or that it will be an age appropriate death. By this I mean that someone who is already very old or ill will pass away.

Transformation and endings are what are indicated when the death card is turned.

For one man the death card symbolised his impending retirement, and with it the whole end of an era. Surrounding cards showed his trepidation and extreme fear of loss of identity once his long term business title was removed. “I’ll be a nobody,” he said fearfully. “I feel dead inside already.”

For a single mother the death card represented that her children were growing up, preparing to take exams, leave school and go on to university. She saw this growth stage as highly positive for everyone and welcomed the change. “I’ve already initiated an Open University course,” she said. “The children are disorientated by the change in me, the idea of their mother studying and not always being available to prepare meals at odd times and fill the washing machine up all of the time.”

This particular client continued to consult me for both tarot and astrology during the entire three year period of her transformation process. Astrologically she was experiencing Uranus transiting conjunct her natal Sun, which also represents an extreme death and rebirth of the ego identity.

Her three children put her through many, many testing and confrontational experiences, their desire to stay young and nurtured by the mother as complex as her need to let them grow and transform into adults. By the time her youngest child started studying her A levels life had settled into a beneficial way of being which suited everyone. The older children gave her great respect when she passed her degree and they felt comfortable about pursuing their own careers now that their mother had a new role to play in the world.

When the death card is reversed it symbolises that either the client is stuck and holding on to something which is over, or needs to end, or that something is being ended against their wishes. In such situations the client often recognises their own dilemma yet cannot see a way around the situation. One of the most common scenarios is when someone has a well paid job which no longer satisfies their needs. To end the job would near enough mean financial ruin, yet all the time they hang on to it they are dying inside.

Ending a long term relationship is another common example in which the death card reversed comes up. Moving on in such a situation is often complex due to the fact that children and joint resources are involved. Some individuals are extremely courageous and walk away with nothing in order to find a more wholesome life while others hang on bitterly until the children leave school. Neither solution has an ideal outcome for whichever choice is made the person for whom the relationship has died will inevitably go through a grieving process.

One woman had the death card the right way up symbolising that her divorce had just been finalised. Throughout the reading she intermittently sobbed. “I can’t understand why I’m crying,” she explained. “I don’t love him any more.”

What she was experiencing was all a natural part of the grieving process for something which had died. She admitted that when she had married she had seen it as a life long commitment and made promises through her wedding vowels that it would never end. The deep rooted belief that her relationship was supposed to be forever and had not turned out that way was part of the deep loss, along with her own feelings of failure.
