The Fool’s Journey through the Major Arcana: SunFest 2016: The Tower

IMG_0402 (2)

You have come far. With study, imagination, patience, and hard work you have built a life for yourself. (points to the tower) It seems perfect. Every stone is just where you want it to be. But beware. The Devil isn’t done with you yet.

It’s really a beautiful trap.

There is something in your life that needs to change, something that is holding you back. If you stay here, safely surrounded by the walls you have created to protect yourself, you will progress no further.

And it is so hard to leave.

But have no fear. The Multiverse always comes to the rescue.

There is a loud crash and a huge lightening bolt knocks off the top of the tower.

Your Tower moment could be as physical as an automobile accident, as emotional as a broken heart, or as achingly beautiful as a sunset. It might be a well-hidden land mine that explodes when you discover that an important part of your life is based on a lie. But the tower you built so carefully is always damaged beyond repair.

At this point you have two choices:

  • You can build another tower and crawl back into it.
  • Or you can move past the wreckage, open your heart, and allow the divine to teach you a new way of being.

Take your pick.
