Okay but the show deliberately left out the tarot significance of the Death card.

Yes, Rio is Death and the card literally points to that but the tarot card of Death signifies not doom, but change.

Assuming the show is staying faithful to real-world tarot card meanings — and they seem to be from what we've seen thus far —Death is one of the most feared cards in a tarot deck, but it's also very misunderstood: the Death tarot card doesn't mean physical death but a transition, a transformation, a new phase of life.

Change and loss is inevitable and common to us all. Put the past behind you, and focus on what is ahead.

The Death card is often a positive thing.

The viewer is not told this, of course, to build up suspense for the finale. They are told what the other cards mean and Lilia doesn't explain this one fully, stunned by the revelation. And viewers will probably also be distracted by all the implications of the Death character reveal.

The way I see it, Death may be an antagonist here but the true antagonist is their fear or uncertainty or resistance to change.

There's Agatha struggling to work with and be emotionally attached to a coven, to let go of her defence mechanisms. Jen is learning how to embrace becoming a witch again, as well as all other aspects of herself. Billy is trying to figure out who he is, what he really wants, and how to be a witch. All of them are grappling with their different traumas.

It makes sense to have their destination be Death, as they come to terms with and step into the next phase of their journey. They should develop as characters – and as a coven.

no but actually the way the entire series lilia’s been getting random visions and was brushed off by everyone as this old weirdo but the show always stopped and TOLD us actually there’s shit going on here with her like when she saw those creepy visions in the first (?) trial and she’s vital to teen’s backstory like. lilia is actually so vital to the story. MCU historically has a misogyny problem but in aaa lilia, an older woman is not useless or insignificant just because she isn’t hot or all powerful
