'''[[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.
An individual '''[[Lilith]]''', along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish [[occult]] incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the [[demon]]. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.


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."

Incantation bowl Lilith.jpg

An individual Lilith, along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish occult incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the demon. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.
