16 - The Tower

The Fool journeys to The Tower and The Devil's illusions shatter. His world comes crumbling down as a flash of reality and clarity forcibly enters his mind. His beliefs about the world and his place within it are challenged. What he once held as fact is now lost. His peace, quiet, and comfort zone will be loudly interrupted with upheaval as changes are forced upon him, crushing his very foundations. 

Our worlds can crumble, brought about by bad luck and misfortune, impulsive behavior, or an excess of confidence.

Our egos, beliefs, and the mental structures that keep us safe can be ripped away here, and the walls we build to protect ourselves from our fears and insecurities can crumble, leaving us standing in the rubble. The destruction we find here can be a total catastrophe that leaves us overwhelmed by our circumstances and does not spare any area of our lives or small bolts of realization that shock us into seeing reality like a light bulb going on.  

Our Towers can collapse out of the blue, either by the hand of God or fate striking us or by the slow eroding of the foundations that have been ignored or not noticed. Our reality will suddenly be filled with a harsh view of crystal-clear reality.

Now is the time to reevaluate your lives, to see if your tower has fallen or if everything is fine, and to investigate what may have caused such a collapse in your life. This card can gift us with a wake-up call, a flash of brilliance in our minds that sets us free, releasing us from our slumber of outdated beliefs, yet it can also break us.

Illusions will be shattered.

Understanding Tarot Book.
I love it!!!
I jumped to the "Using your Tarot deck" and you're such a breath of fresh air compared to other books I read!
I got the Kindle edition too 🤭, but I really needed the paper copy, and i couldn't be happier! 🤩
Kudos to you for this gem! 🔥❤️🔥
I can't seem to find the right words to express myself now, but I think that you brought warmth and humanity to a practice that had been stereotyped for too long.
Thank you! ❤️

Some days ago I bought Pam Richards book and I started reading it. I've not finished it yet, but already I sincerely recommend it, as I'm finding in it a lot of answers, advices, tips, explanations related to a lot of important aspects that frequently are issues for newbies as I am: the meanings of the cards are very well explained, but overall I'm finding information about the spreads, the ways of shuffling, the way to start and prepare for a reading, (a wonderful tip to facilitate readings for ourselves), superstitions and much, much more.

I particularly appreciate the "not spiritual" and well grounded approach to the subject (not that it's denied, or refused, but simply it is correctly left to own personal beliefs).

A wonderful work, really worth!
