The Tower and Chaos: T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land
In The Tower (Arcana XVI), the structure falls. In a world obsessed with safety, this is the card that scares us most.
The Collapse of the False
As T.S. Eliot says in The Waste Land: "A heap of broken images, where the sun beats...". The Tower is the destruction of what is poorly built: false certainties, pious lies, or superficial successes.
The Grace of Crisis
Sometimes, the universe takes away your ground so you learn to fly. The lightning is the divine intervention that breaks inertia. If you feel your world is collapsing, don't panic. You are building on real foundations for the first time.
