it's not connected at all.
our brain just likes to find connections, this has helped humanity a lot but it has also confused humanity a lot.

people are always afraid of this card but death does not usually signify actual physical death in the tarot.

it is more metaphorical, and often comes up in terms of endings (either relationships, phases of life) or transformations (death of your old perspective, death of your illusions) leading to a new way of life.

of course, this could apply to an actual death (physical death will lead to the end of a relationship) but it comes up all the time and rarely coincides with someone actually dying.

tarot cards DEFINITELY do not design the future, and in my experience they don't even work well for predicting the future (though some will argue against that). neither of you have any responsibility there.

if you choose to believe, then the card makes sense in terms of a prediction, assuming that your wife experienced significant life changes as a result of her mother's death. if you choose not to believe, it's just a coincidence. either way, don't worry about it and if they make you feel uncomfortable, just throw them out.

he's the one who's stressing about it, genius, not his wife.

She would definitely be stressed about it, if I did remind her of what happened. I don't believe in the power of the cards, it's just such a sad coincidence.
If I hadn't pulled the card, maybe the molecules would have shifted in such a way that the ice on the road didn't send her car rolling into a ditch. But, that's a stupid way to think. I could have held my farts in and had the same effect.

Zero understanding of the cards level fake story

Not to mention the ol' One day before out of the blue the deck shows up and just for laughs we look at one card and only one card idea... sheesh.

>>17060419
huh?
Like I said, the cards were given to me as a joke. I have "zero understanding of the cards" because... magical cards with fortune telling powers don't exist? And it was just a lark.

Death is a card that's supposed to signify a change in your life, it's definitely not the worst you can get, and can actually be good sometimes.

People outside of /div/ will just tell you that tarot is irrelevant mumbo jumbo, but it can be pretty fun, and somewhat useful & reassuring.

i don't understand why you posted the thread if you're already aware of this, to be quite honest.
