In the Hermetic tradition—of which I am a practicing part—the key of Death in the tarot corresponds to the Hebrew letter of nun and the symbol of the fish. In ancient times, the markers of a living being were that something should be both warm and breathing. The fish exhibits neither of these qualities, and yet it lives, cold-blooded in a climate most could not. And so it became a symbol of Death, navigating an alternate reality and the realm of the unseen, as water relates to the intuitive, emotional and psychic. The zodiacal sign of Pisces also contains fish, with the archetype speaking to our soul’s reconnection with Oneness, the collective all, and a dissolution of boundary between us.
