Today's Tarot - Remember that old song "Don't Fear the Reaper"?

Happy October! It is that kreepy kookie Halloween fun time of year.

I was reading Dave Turner's excellent online novella "The Death Guide to Life" (since re-named "How To Be Dead") - a British comedy spoof. It isn't everyone's cup of tea - unless you like Monty Python, Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), or Doctor Who, in which case this would be your cup of tea and fist full of hobnobs to boot. In one scene, The Grim Reaper was dancing around his office to "Don't Fear the Reaper". If you don't know the song from the 1970s, you might remember it as the "More Cowbell!" song from Saturday Night Live.

That in turn reminded me of some old posts about some of the scariest, and most mis-understood cards in the Tarot deck. There are three posts so far, so rather than replicate them all here, please feel free to read the full free texts HERE

The first two posts on the death card from the major arcana show we don't have to fear the reaper - not the one on the tarot card anyway.

Happy Halloween!
