13 Death — Yew Art Print

The card nobody fears once they understand it. The plant that outlives everything.

In tarot, Death is not an ending but a threshold: the shedding of what no longer serves and the transformation that cannot be negotiated with. Yew is its botanical twin, a poisonous, enduring presence in Britain's churchyards.

This original illustration brings them together: two ancient, misunderstood forces, inviting us to look beyond fear and recognise the possibility of change.

They made the dangerous things decorative. This print puts the danger back.

The Poison Tarot

The Poison Tarot pairs each major arcana with its poisonous botanical twin: the plant that carries the same energy, the same warning, the same hidden knowledge. This is not decoration. This is reclamation.

The knowledge was never lost. It was just waiting.
