I drew the Tower as my challenge card for this month. I have been doing some research in The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot and from the wonderful pages of Biddy Tarot (accessed here). Here are my notes on this card:
I felt this was an adequate challenge card for this month. I feel that for this month I will try to live as my "true" self, to not build up walls, and to let the tower card really influence my spiritual life. I have been feeling like my days and weeks are blending together and not really giving meaning to each day. I am hoping for the tarot to help give meaning each day. So I would like to give my spiritual life a "tower make over". To start rebuilding (creating) my spiritual life. It will be interesting to see how the tower will challenge me this month.
- Disaster
- Upheaval
- Sudden change
- Revelation
- Mars
- Something shocking happens that upsets the harmony of things
- Something that throws you for a loop
- Your foundation is made of inadequate things--false thoughts, false beliefs, false actions.
- How could I have been so wrong/naive/blind?
- How do I pick up the pieces from here?
- Need to question beliefs/attitudes/actions
- An event that really shakes you as a person
- Can be subtle or in the subconscious
- after destruction comes creation
- Awakening/release
- Immediate change
- "Rock bottom" 2 choices: Devil or Star
- Star--foundation is in yourself
- Devil--self destruction
- Crown--uncrowning, falling off your high horse, against delusions of grandeur
- New perspective on life after
- Tower--the walls you have built up around yourself
- Defenses you've built up may start to shatter and reveal true self
- Break down the structures that surround yourself
- Tower will fall because you've reached your limits to live with it
- Can signify ego
- Face the truth, despite how painful it is.
