Scorpio 008

Video Transcript: Destruction, or Death, is actually the first part of any creative process. In order to build a house you need to get the raw materials, right? Which means you need to harvest lumber. In order to make some omelets you need to crack a few eggs. Death is but the first part of creation… and I think this is beautifully illustrated when you look at these two cards. Here is the 13th card, Death, ruled by Scorpio followed by the 14th card, Art, ruled by Sagittarius (which is the next sign). It kind of reminds me of Baphomet. Baphomet has two words on its arms, solve and coagula, dissolve and coagulate. Meaning there are really only two things that happen in this universe, things break down, the Death card… and things come together, the Art card. To me, death isn’t negative, although it gets a bad rap by most everyone. It’s really just the beginning process or the first process of art and anything creative.
