Barbara Walker Tarot - 20: Judgment

On the next-to-last trump card, an angel blows the Last Trump to summon the dead from their graves. He might be Michael, Gabriel, or the pagan doomsday god Rig-Heimdall with his Gjellarhorn, announcing the end of the world as Ragnarok (Götterdämmerung), when the Goddess would pronounce her death curse on the violent gods of this universe and reabsorb them into her dark shadow-self. Folks that she saved would be the seeds of the next life. Thus, this conventional Judgment scene could be pagan, Christian, or even Hindu—the origin of all. It means final decisions, choices, resurrected hopes, help from higher-ups.
