<=== ORCUS: Death as a force in life===>

Orcus ( 2004 DW / 90482 ) deals with death as a factor in life and how it impacts us and what death teaches us about life as well as what life teaches us about death. It does not necessarily represent death as an experience, although significant personal aspects result in death playing a larger than life role in that person's life. There is also an affinity with Orpheus, even to the extent that an artist and critic who was an Orcus Incarnate, deliberately chose a new last name that was an anagram of Orpheus.

Images and Symbols of Death seem to affect the points aspected by Orcus.
