From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
Judgement
Meanings
Heed the herald’s call. Deep satisfaction with what you have achieved. A current project will draw to a close, but an exciting new one will commence. A dramatic life-changing and positive experience.
Reversed (?)
Don’t stick your head in the sand. You are ignoring an important change that has happened – you need to acknowledge that change to make use of it and allow it to enrich your life.
Description
A woman in a plain dark robe and white wimple holds her hands together in prayer. In the background, figures stand around an open tomb from which flowers emerge. A golden-haired angel flying above them blows a long trumpet. In the distance, large craggy mountain peaks reach up to touch the clouds.
