In this series, we are taking the time to smell the roses, which for tarot lovers often means taking the time to really appreciate a single image of tarot art. Today we will look at Death from the Revelations Tarot by Zach Wong. You can see more images HERE. The Revelations Tarot is unique because the images are designed to reflect both upright and reversed meanings. So with this card, upright we have a skull, scythe, and Kali, all symbols of death. When it is reversed, the main image is the baby being born, showing how something new and miraculous can come from a very traumatic or painful situation.

In my previous three posts (HERE, HERE, and HERE) I described an easy way to astral project, why astral travel is important and how to do it, and the concept explaining why performing astral magick can be very powerful. In the last post I wrote, "it’s possible for us to prevent ourselves from achieving our magickal goals by unconsciously countering our magick."

Then you get your reward: The World. A laurel wreath of achievement and a sense of how you fit perfectly in the universal flow of life. Comfortable, confident,

In my two previous posts I presented some basic ideas for astral projection and astral travel. In that second post I pointed out that astral travel was about more than going to the moon or visiting a girlfriend or boyfriend. It's even more that visiting someone to help heal them from the astral plane or to have consensual astral sex with them. Astral travel can lead to the fountainheads of spiritual wisdom. However, as they say in the infomercials, "But wait! There's more!" Most practitioners of magick didn't just chant a spell or wave a wand and woosh!, magick happened. And yet, you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't believe or hadn't experienced the fact that magick works. So
