The Tower

There are two cards in the tarot deck I cringe to see, and the Tower is the harsher of the two. It’s not a ‘bad’ card persay, but indicates severe turmoil, upheaval and change - often coming from external sources and things the sitter can’t control.

It’s hard to see this card in a reading because I know the person in front of me is suffering, or will be soon. It may feel like thier whole world is crashing down, that they may be experiencing the destruction of something they held sacred, steadying, and true. Tears tend to flow when this card arrives, yet there is hopeful promise in this card as well...

Until now I’ve read this card in abstraction, using what I know of the meaning and what spirit tells me of the sitter. I pull from what I feel in my heart, and know in my soul to be true. Yet today, I have the gift of living this card myself. Of feeling what it really means to have the rug ripped from under your otherwise steady and predictable life.

The power of universal change reaches down from the sky and destroys the tower with earth rocking flame. Yet as the inhabitants desperately jump into the unknown, the light of the Holy Spirit gives them wings to fly and knowledge to grow from this horrendous circumstance. There is light at work in the darkness, always.

I thank you all for your prayers of support during this season of life. My father is resting comfortably, surrounded by family as he prepares his transition into spirit. I’ll be holding all readings until further notice so I can show up as my whole, healed self in the new year.

🙏🏻💙
