An amulet of the threshold of death represents the tarot card Death. The threshold – death/re-birth, the bardo - The Death Amulet would be for those in a powerful transition: a lad who has “become a Man”, a girl’s transition into Womanhood. One who suffered a major loss and re-forming their lives would find this piece useful: embrace the break in the pattern and start anew. Like a strong tonic, the Death Amulet is for a short yet important periods in one’s life.
