The Sacrifice is the avatar of intergenerational care. They balance their world atop their shoulders while emerging from a throne of trees. They sit atop of this throne represented by a spear, a shield, and sacred offerings.

The Sacrifice asks us to determine when a heavy weight is a burden, and if it can be alchemized into an anchor. They remind us that futurity and the passing on of knowledge does not have to be hierarchal, and can be transmitted across and between generations freely.
