Judgement

Judgement is trump XX: an angel sounding a trumpet as the dead rise from their graves with arms raised. It is awakening, a calling, and rising to a new life. The Golden Dawn calls it the Angel or the Last Judgment and gives it to Fire and the letter Shin; Crowley's Thoth deck renamed it the Aeon.

Write the call you've been ignoring on a slip of paper. Read it aloud like a trumpet: loudly, once. Then do one thing to answer it within a week.
