Annotated Visual References for Card XIII. DEATH

The skull & crossbones is often associated with pirates. In the book, Pirate: Quest for the Mystic Bootye, the meaning of this symbol is interpreted not only as a Death, but also in terms of signaling the end of an old way, and the birth or beginning of a new way of life.

Source of images: Skull and Crossed Bones: This design was constructed using the human skull and thigh bone elements in Gray’s anatomy (1973) Twenty-ninth American edition. Philadelphia: Lea & Febiger. Bones arranged like this form an important sign or symbol in pirate philosophy. *The quote "A victory for the self is a defeat for the ego" attributed to Dr. Carl Jung.
