20-Judgment or Rejuvenation – Reversed Rider Waite Deck

Your Chosen Card – Judgment or Rejuvenation Reversed Rider Waite Deck

When reversed, the Judgment card suggests that you may not be heeding the call to wake up and change the direction of your life. If you reject this opportunity to become reanimated, you may end up stagnating and feel stuck in a rut. Perhaps your reluctance is due to fear of change, a sense of regret, or feelings of self-recrimination. Ponder the biblical verse: ‘Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit’ (John 12:24, King James 2000 Version).

Keywords Reversed: Sentencing, not heeding a call, self-recrimination, worry, regret, delay, shame, remorse, stagnation, isolation, bad karma, condemnation, vengeance, a negative judgment, clinging to old ways, remaining stuck in the past, postponing a matter until it’s too late, an unsatisfactory ending, failure to rise from one’s ashes; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Key XX: Judgment (Aeon)
Myths/Archetypes: The Last Judgment. The Angel of Resurrection. The Avenging Angel. The phoenix rising from its ashes. Persephone being rescued from the underworld. The Tooth Fairy.
Astrology: Fire (Pluto in some modern decks). Both the element Fire and the dwarf planet Pluto are associated with purgation, renewal, and purification.
Numerology: 2 (High Priestess) = 1 + 1 (Justice or Strength) = 2 + 0 (Judgment)

Angel Encyclopedia: The Apocalypse of Adam is a Gnostic text written between the first and fourth centuries, and it forms part of the pseudepigrapha. It comprises a secret revelation given by Adam to Seth immediately before Adam’s death. It is intended to be passed on down through Seth’s line. As is characteristic of Gnostic literature, it presents two Gods, the creator God who is the Demiurge and the supreme God who is remote. The creator God rules the AEONS and POWERS, and becomes hostile toward the ‘eternal God.’ The Apocalypse of Adam stands out from most other Gnostic texts in its use of the name ‘God’ for both deities. The followers or the creator God are doomed, whereas the followers of Seth hold the secret knowledge of the higher God, and will have salvation in imperishability.
