This is where my demons come to play.
Why “Ethereal Funeral?”
In the Tarot, “Death’s Grim Reaper is eternally understood as an immutable part of our earthly existence…Skeletal Death is a reminder of our human frailty. Yet Death is also the bringer of necessary change and is not a sign of the physical death of a person in the present or the future. He heralds the end of an era, when what is not needed is taken so the next phase can begin. Without him, we have no clear sight of what could be possible.” -Liz Dean, “The Ultimate Guide to the Tarot” (2015)
My astrological sign is Scorpio, with which the card Death corresponds.
Therefore, Death is only the next adventure.
Ethereal Funeral is a place of unexpected poetry in a world of strife and heartbreak. Here, a soul is laid bare for the world to see, with the hope that positive change can rise from what appears to be decrepit and lost in darkness.
Both creative endeavors and examples of objective research exist here in harmony. I have always been a writer; as an adult, research is a key part of my career in psychology. As a human, writing is my favorite way to express myself.
