Absolute judgement, to me, is the weight of your soul at the end of each day. Maybe its just me, but when I know I did something good, I sleep better, breath better and overall just feel better when I lay down that night. Since this is a semi-traditional tarot deck, I wanted to keep the iconography of Judgement blowing the horn of heaven rather than the retribution oriented idea I originally had. I think many people do confuse those two things... but in the end, I'd like to think that our own consciousness is our own punishment for misdeeds.
