The Tower
A tall crown-capped tower built upon a jagged mountain is struck by a single bolt of lightning. Flames erupt from the windows as two figures plunge headfirst into the dark abyss below.
The Tower represents the structures built by the human ego to isolate itself from divine truth. When the lightning of revelation strikes, the fall is terrifying, but it frees the mind from its self-imposed prison.
Upright
The Tower represents the violent destruction of falsehoods. Upright, it delivers a sudden shock, a crisis, or an unexpected upheaval that shatters an unstable foundation. While chaotic, it clears away structures built on lies or ego.
Reversed
Reversed, the Tower suggests that a major crisis is brewing, but you are barely managing to delay it, or that you are desperately clinging to a broken structure out of a profound fear of the pain that transformation brings.
