'''[[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.
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.


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."
