This study concerns spoken and unspoken death within three death cards from the Tarot: that of the Tarot Colleoni from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, middle of the 15th Century, that of the Anonymous Parisian Tarot, first half of the 17th Century, and that of the Marseille Tarot of the Ages by B. P. Grimaud, 1930. The study points to how death acts in language. Such means evolve around “language thought and language in action” whereby the role that language plays in death cards is devised.
