The Tower

This tower could be the tower of Babel; humanity celebrates their intellectual and cooperating skills. As known god descends and disrupts their plans of building a tower which reaches into the heavens by giving them many different tongues instead of one. On the card people are also thrown down, smitten by his wrath in the form of lightning.

Thus with this card a summit of thinking and understanding has been reached. Somehow or other the same direction can not be continued and the mind is thrown into utter darkness and despair, a plunge from a peak of ego and achievement into the unknown.

Prediction: But of course this is also a new beginning, from the darkest corner of your mind 'god' will hear you, and you can start building something new, perhaps with a better foundation. A new lifestyle, partnership, business, set of rules to live by, what ever is up in your life. Finally finally you will be able to let go, no longer dragging the dead weight of past behind you.

Keywords: Ego, broken illusions, downfall, need of complete surrender, liberation from old patterns, purification.
