Here it is. One of the "Big 3." One of the cards that just about everyone is scared of in their readings. You'll have seen this card in movies, in TV shows, or read about it in books. The Hero is just about to go on his journey and... oh no! The mystic he found in a back room of a shady hotel peers out from behind her crystal ball and proclaims ominously that "death awaits..." Before we go any further, I love cheesy movie story lines as much as the next person, but this card has been given a really raw deal. It has ended up being one of the most, if not the most, misrepresented card. Not only does this misrepresentation make some people fearful of the Tarot, but it can make Tarot readers themselves seem like a bad guy who only wish misfortune on those that seek their services.
