This is an excerpt from my longer blog post about the Death card:

In my interpretation of the Death card I included a skull, a scythe, and a flower being cut from its stem. One of my very favourite Death cards, from the Morgan Greer tarot, pictured above, features these same elements. The scythe being a symbol of death as represented by Saturn, the great harvester and the inspiration for the “Grim Reaper”. The flower is a memento mori, a reminder that all beautiful things wilt away and grow again in turn.

On the reverse of the pendant, the sigil I have created is an hourglass to signify Time, another of Saturn’s domains. The hourglass is punctured by an arrow driving through it towards the earth. The arrow signifies not only the weapon of Death but also Cupid’s tool of love. (Place, 2011, p179.) The fletching of the arrow is a shaft of wheat for the harvest, the changing of seasons, and the wheel of the year. All that ends begins again.
