Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, The lady of situations. Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel, And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card, Which is blank, is something he carries on his back, Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find The Hanged Man. Fear death by water. Robert McCammon
About This Quote

The card below the lady of the rocks is death. Death is what is in the water that you must fear when you are in this position. It is the thing that causes the drowning. So, when you are in this situation, there is nothing to do but drown.

The card above the wheel represents your desire for more power. But when you get it, it comes with a price tag. You may have to go through the wheel of death before reaching your goal.
