'''[[Death]]''' is the 13th card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks. In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Death was the name of one of the six original triumphs.
A significant development in '''[[clairvoyance]]''' research came in the 1930s, when J. B. Rhine, a parapsychologist at Duke University, introduced a standard methodology, with a standard statistical approach to analyzing data, as part of his research into extrasensory perception. A number of psychological departments attempted to repeat Rhine's experiments, with failure. W. S. Cox from Princeton University with 132 subjects produced 25,064 trials in a playing card ESP experiment. Cox concluded, "There is no evidence of extrasensory perception either in the 'average man' or of the group investigated or in any particular individual of that group. The discrepancy between these results and those obtained by Rhine is due either to uncontrollable factors in experimental procedure or to the difference in the subjects."


The painting of Death depicts a carriage carrying a massive black monument of death with a skeletal [[angel]] of death on top. Two black bulls are pulling the carriage backward and the entire surrounding crowd of onlookers are all dead or running away from the approaching bulls. Additional skulls adorn the edges of the painting.


Some decks, such as the [[Tarot of Marseilles]] and [[Visconti-Sforza Tarot]] omit the name from the card, calling it "The Card with No Name", often with the implication of a broader meaning than literal death. There are other decks that title Death as "Rebirth" or "Death-Rebirth."

A significant development in clairvoyance research came in the 1930s, when J. B.

A number of psychological departments attempted to repeat Rhine's experiments, with failure. W. S.
