Ghost
Ghost opens a trap door,
To another world.
One where the past,
And present are swirled.
Memories and love
Take up residence there.
It’s up to you to give
Our lost ones care.
About this card
As the grand reaper of time and symbol of its ruthless speed, Ghost reminds us no moment is more precious than the present. However you choose to connect with the departed — sneaking into a cemetery, dusting off an old photo, hosting a séance — you are forging a link between mortality and vitality.
Celebrate the permanence of death, this card teaches,so you can appreciate the fragility of life.
