The Tower by

Concept:
The Tower has always fascinated me. Though I did not choose it - it
was assigned to me - I could not have gotten a better card. The
Tower usually means that something is torn apart or illusions are
crashing - the tumbling tower with only ruins left when done. I see
it more as an opportunity card or a solution card to get
things/situations cleared up, so the path is once again there to
see.
When
I see the Tower I feel like it is time for cleansing mind and
priorities. I have
followed the Waite card very much all the way. I have tried to make
the roof crown with 3 rubies - body, mind and spirit to indicate
that this card covers them all. In addition I have a made a path
leading away from the tower giving a way out of chaos once dealt
with. The fog surrounding the tower is to describe that you will
need to know what is underneath before moving on
Card Meaning:
This card represents the experience of a situation falling apart.
There is an imbalance in body, mind and spirit. There may be some
illusions about what the Tower is built on and when it crashes what
lies underneath. There is a way out, but to find it, you have to let
the chaos into your life and deal with it, discover the hidden
foundation and then move on.
In
reverse:
This is about letting everything get out of hand, walking
deliberately into chaos, creating chaos, indulging yourself in
pettiness, or feeling sorry for yourself because everything just
wont work the way you intended it to.
