Description

Tarot card 13 Death
I chose the Goddess Ceridwen and her cauldron of rebirth because this card signifies transformation as opposed to physical death. The Welsh Goddess Ceridwen is associated with the eternal cycle of life,death and rebirth. She tends the cauldron of wisdom and inspiration. Her totem animals are the white sow and the black hen. As white sow she is guardian of the underworld, keeper of souls.
(updated 16.05.13, changed hen stock for my own photo and made a few minor alterations)

Excellent representation.  I have seen many images for death, and this one is by far one of the most unique and interesting while still staying true to the meaning of the card.
