| | Galena's Journey - Writings - Without Words - Symbols of Death |
 | | Death is the unseen, unknowable aspect of life. | | | The living can know nothing of death, for the dead are beyond our normal realm of communication. | | | Concentric circles are often found on early graves symbolizing completion of a cycle and the realms of eternity. |

| | Symbols of death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Less blunt symbols of death frequently allude to the passage of time and the fragility of life. | | | Coffins also serve as blunt reminders of mortality. | | | Similarly, a candle both marks the passage of time, and bears witness that it will eventually burn itself out. |

| | Death: Sources of the Waite/Smith Tarot Symbols |
| | In The Real History of the Rosicrucians and The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, Waite depicts the Rosicrucians as an occult "church within the church" of Christianity. | | | Waite may be suggesting that this is not the Death that comes at the end of life, but the Mystical Death. | | | There would also be a reference to the Knights Templars, also known as The Knights of Christ of the Temple of Jerusalem. |

| | Queprur, Santharian Goddess of Death |
| | This disturbing aspect of her shows the fear most people have of this Goddess of Death and Destruction but also the antithesis of order and chaos combined in one deity. | | | There are many prayers worshipping the Goddess of Death, which often are sung or recited at funerals or during the last hours when people are expected to die. | | | With pale skin and black hair she usually looks down at the mortals as the unevitable symbol of Death. |

| | Satan and Death - perspective from a Satanic point of view |
| | This eternal truth is more meaningful and potent than deceitful symbols of life, reincarnation or other spiritual pipe dreams. | | | If after death there was an all-pervading, universalistic non-dualistic entity that granted eternal life to everyone, regardless of their beliefs, I would have to accept (and Deadism would not be a valid belief), also I do choose life over death. | | | Not only are we rejected from these eschatological rewards by our love of life, but we reject the rewards themselves as confusing errors and spiritual pipe dreams. |

| | Kearl's Guide to the Sociology of Death: Death Across Time and Space |
| | With increasing secularization and the rise of science, by the 1700s death came to be viewed as some rupture or a break with life rather than as part of a continuum, a matter better put out of mind. | | | In addition to these transformations in the world of the living, the American death ethos also changed because of the following trends in the nature and distribution of death. | | | It is here assumed that any broad-scale change in the relationships between the living is accompanied by modifications of these death meanings and ceremonies. |

| | Shera, Aeoliran High Goddess of Death |
| | It is unusual for Shera to be chosen as the personal God by a family, mainly due to her connection with death; perhaps families feel that by choosing this Goddess, they would effectively be worshipping death, and so choose not to. | | | Another practice these priests undertake is to talk with the dying, hopefully to make them confess past misdeeds they may have made, and it is the duty of the priest to help the person atone for them. | | | However, it is not unknown for families to worship Shera following the death of a loved one, for perhaps a month, in an attempt to make sure that the family member has the best Ardul possible. |

| | Rituals of Death |
| | Rodney Needham has said that death is unique among rites of passage in the fact that we can never know the final state the dead enter at the end of the ritual, despite the tendency of funerals to refer, through words or symbols, to whatever local beliefs exist concerning the ultimate fate of the dead. | | | The soul of the deceased, almost universally, is said to be helped by funeral rituals to assume whatever character and mode of existence its culture deems appropriate for the spiritual aspect of a person, the part that neither decomposes nor burns, and is widely regarded as leaving the physical remains after death. | | | At one stage in the ceremony, the widow or widower fights to keep possession of the corpse, but must be separated from it, and the patrilineal kin (agnates) and in-laws of the deceased act out the parts of takers and givers of life, respectively. |

| | (3) The symmetry argument claims that it is irrational to think death is bad for us, because we do not think the nonexistence that preceded our births is bad for us, and when we compare this period of nonexistence to death, we see the two are mirror images, alike in all respects. | | | But if the absence of a salient good can constitute a harm, then death can be harmful, for there are two ways in which death can be responsible for harmfully absent goods. | | | A second controversy is whether one or more of several arguments defeats the harm thesis, the claim that death harms the individual who dies. |

| | Unquestionably, the holiday had its origin with the pagan Druids,only they called it the "Festival of Samhain - the lord of the dead." Samhain was nothing more or less than a demon (a demon spirit of death at that, or perhaps he may have been Satan himself!) who was given special homage on Halloween. | | | And if our houses and churches are dedicated to God and are to glorify Christ, how do we justify decorating them with demonic and occult symbols? | | | The "Jack-o-lantern" is the ancient symbol of a damned soul. |
