I remember when I first got into Tarot, I was pretty scared of the Death card. But you know what card actually freaked me out more? The Tower. I mean, just look at it! I started to dive into The Tower card of the Rider-Waite version.
So, I got my deck out and started really looking at the card. I noticed three big things that seemed important. First, there’s the Tower itself, all tall and imposing. Then, there’s this crazy lightning bolt hitting it. And finally, I saw people falling from the Tower, which was kind of disturbing.
I decided to break it down. I spent a whole afternoon just thinking about the Tower. I wrote down my thoughts: What if the Tower isn’t just a bad thing? What if it represents old, rigid stuff in my life that needs to go? Stuff I’m holding onto too tightly, even if it’s not good for me anymore. Then the lightning, I thought maybe that’s like a sudden wake-up call. Like, life shaking things up, forcing me to change, even if it’s scary or painful at first.
- Jot down every detail about the tower.
- Brainstorm what each element could symbolize in my own life.
- Reflect on recent events that felt like ‘lightning bolts’.
The people falling, that was the hardest part. But I started to see it as letting go. Like, maybe it’s okay to let go of things that aren’t working, even if it feels like falling. It’s like those old beliefs or habits that I’ve outgrown. I need to clear the way for new things, even if it’s tough.
The Tower Feelings
I realized The Tower isn’t just about destruction. It’s also about breaking free and starting fresh. It’s a reminder that sometimes things need to fall apart so we can build something better. I’m still figuring it all out, but now, whenever I pull The Tower card, I don’t just freak out. I try to see it as a chance to look at what in my life needs a good shake-up. Maybe it’s time for a change, even if it feels a bit chaotic at first.
It’s like life telling me, “Hey, wake up! Time to let go of the old and make room for the new.” It’s not easy, but I think it’s necessary. I keep a journal where I jot down these thoughts and it helps me process all this. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll lead to something awesome in the end.
