I abhor when things I love are tainted by a relationship gone wrong. I am happy that you're out of it, and can look back on it and start a new relationship with white roses. As for Death card years, I feel like I'm more in a Tower type year, where I'm struggling to get by and adjusting to the fall from grace.

I did go through a terrible breakup one year, and I had a "Death" card pendant/talisman for it. It arrived the week I broke up with one of my partners, and after a week or two (and one wear), the charm jumped off the chain never to be seen again. I took it as a sign that the medicine came and did its work.

Losing muse happens a lot for me. Finding ways to play and cultivate joy for practice seems more important than getting frustrated over it. I'm enjoying your reflections and different shapes your writing is taking. <3

Love this reflection and love that you reclaimed your white roses. Gorgeous. Makes me want to go get some! I really feel connected to the Death card. As a scorpio, it's my card and it's mirrored my life -- all of the cycles of transformation I've gone through, things that have felt like literal death then I rise back up stronger than before. My death card year is next year. I'm in my hanged one year now and ooof it's hard!
