Q: why is the grim reaper traditionally portrayed as a man?
Tumblr media
Based on some of the replies to this question I’m always amazed at folks who don’t understand symbolism and metaphors. There’s a reason why we call it the personification of death and not some living flesh and blood monstrosity that will allow you to make generalizations about a concept that is, in fact, genderless.
A tiny glance around the world will show that there are just as many female psychopomps of death as there are male. Santa Muerte (Mexican folk saint), Mictecacihuatl (Aztec), La Calavera Catrina (Day of the Dead), Izanami (Shinto), Giltinė (Latvia), Banshee (Gaelic), Hel (Scandinavia) and Morana (Slavic tradition) are all female versions of death’s embodiment. I’ll go so far as to say that the whole concept of the Grim Reaper is a rather new invention, since, “The earliest appearance of the name ‘Grim Reaper’ in English is in the 1847 book ‘The Circle of Human Life’ … [and] because the word for death [in Polish] ‘śmierć’ is feminine in gender, death is frequently portrayed as a skeletal old woman.”
I guess a slightly larger question for me is the most obvious: the Grim Reaper is a skeleton in robes … how well versed in human anatomy do you have to be in order to tell its gender from nothing more than a skull and some boney hands?
The version I’m using for the Seven of Swords is Rán, the Norse sea goddess, who collects the drowned in a fishing net.

Rána and The Angler
Exploring some art of a TTRPG character I designed a few years ago but haven't had the opportunity to play. Rána is a monster hunting merfolk from a lineage of manta, mako and orca origin. Tall, wiry and tough, she's able to wield her whale-bone hook weapons using a combination of brute strength and substantial finesse - both underwater and on land. She harbors a fascination of the strange world outside her home in the depths, but also a distaste for freshwater

Beltane : fertility, love, spring, fire, flowers, pastel/bright colours, positivity, light
Me : *planning out rich darker colours, collects multiple rabbit skulls, sets up pinned butterflies and bees, purely coincidental that all flowers for my altar are toxic, small piece of tanned cowhide as an altar cloth, cow/sheep and goat horns dotted around, a worrying amount of lighters and matches everywhere*
Me : I don't know if this really says beltane
Hel : looks perfect to me
Loki : so when are we burning the house down?
Rán : good but needs more salt
*adds a couple of mermaid purses (empty shark egg cases)*
Rán : thank you
Me : yeah, that was probably it
