Another Four, but this time a far more peaceful one, from the Vampire's Tarot of the Eternal Night (Lo Scarabeo, 2009).
Still, unlike the Knight holding vigil that we see in the RWS Four of Swords, here we have an actual tombstone effigy. However, in a Vampire deck, dead doesn't necessarily mean dead! Resting up during the day in his stone tomb, will the occupant rise at night to continue on his existence?
There's a fair bit of debate in the literature as to whether vampires feel a desire to sleep and do so during the day due to the travails of sunlight, or are literally dead to the world during the day. Either way, a bit of time out is a necessity, and not just for the undead.
Do you respect your need for time to rest and recuperate, both physically and mentally? What must you prepare for, and how can you best do so? What can you do to have a break? How can you best nurture yourself today?
