The Walker rows a small boat across the River Styx, passing shores where the emotions and attachments of the departed linger. Some souls struggle, others are calm, some grieve, and some are blissfully ignorant. At the river’s end, the shadow of Death appears, a figure of acceptance and compassion, as the reborn sun illuminates this still and silent land. The Walker, too, will conclude this challenging journey, embracing a new dawn and fresh beginnings.

Reversed Reflection: The distant shore feels unreachable, and the sticky waters of the River Styx slow the Walker’s progress. Ahead lies a fog of uncertainty, struggles, and the elusive promise of the far shore.
