16
THE TOWER
Description
The Towers
image is one of fright. There is what appears to be the Tower of
Babylon, collapsing and being overthrown. The crown on the top of
the tower is being blown off and the lightening and thunder clouds behind
the tower show a destructive storm. People are being thrown from
the tower in disarray as flames engulf the rooms in the tower.
This is
an image that clearly shows destruction. As the people are thrown
from the tower the look of fear on their faces indicates that they had
little warning and no time to escape. It is almost as though the higher
they were in the Tower, the further they had to fall. The tower standing
on top of a mountain peak indicates to me this again, the higher you are,
the further you have to fall.
Divinatory
Meaning
To see this
card in a reading usually isn't as bad as would appear. I enjoy this
card as it tend to means that negative patterns and behaviours will be
overthrown. It can mean a sudden and unexpected change in life and
a total renewal of values resulting from this change. This is a card
where total physical change will take place.
