The night is dark and full of terrors! Stars will bleed, and Winter freeze. Darkness falls upon the world!

Blood will spill upon night. I pray to you! O Lord of Light! Save us from the death beyond The Wall!

I believe my cards are hinting that I will be killed by some kind of conflict betwewn the Jack of Spades and Jack of Diamonds.

Perhaps in a war coming? :salut:

War does indeed suck big wind, but sometimes it can bring positive changes to the world.

The fancy Ace of Spades on American Bicycle Cards depict the Roman Goddess of Liberty. Is Lady Liberty a Goddess of Death and War I wonder? :chin:

During the Veitnam War American soldiers used Ace of Spade cards for psychological warfare by spreading them around the bodies of their enemies and the villages they destroyed. :skull:

Is there any reference, other than Viet Nam, for Rome's Goddess of Liberty as Death?

She is connected to other wars throughout history. I feel that the concept of "liberty" itself is probably connected to war as in the old days the only way to obtain it was through war and violence.
