Demise

This card's prevailing energy: Mourning, New Beginning, Ruin

Demise

Before being reborn from the ashes the Phoenix will be burnt in the flame. This kind of destruction is represented by the Ten of Swords. A new morning will follow The Demise, but only after the necessary time of mourning.

Do not look back. The past has to give place to the prospect of a new and better tomorrow. Do not esteem losses too high. Consider, that all mundane things are perishable. Detach yourself in order to take the best from the inevitable change.
