Judgement (XX), or in some decks spelled Judgment, is a tarot card, part of the Major Arcana suit usually comprising 22 cards.
 |
The traditional scene is modeled after Christian imagery of the Resurrection and Last Judgment. An angel is depicted among the clouds blowing a great trumpet, from which hangs the flag of St. George, which references the 1 Corinthians 15. [3] A group of resurrected people (man, woman, and child) of sallow complexion stand, arms spread, looking up at the angel in awe. The Sleeping Dead are emerging from crypts or graves, calling back to the Revelation 20, where the sea gives up its dead. [4] There are snow-covered mountains in the background indicating a winter theme, similar to The Hermit, as a symbolical ending.
In Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot , Judgement is referred to as The Aeon and includes pictorial representations of Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit and Harpocrates.[ citation needed ]
According to A. E. Waite's 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot , the Judgement card is associated with:
Change of position, renewal, outcome. Another account specifies total loss though lawsuit. Reversed: Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity; also deliberation, decision, sentence. [5]
