I would be inclined to say this Tower was inspired by the events of 9/11, but I am under the impression Marie created this card before that event. The image of sudden, destructive and irrevocable change seems to be more than physical, however, it would seem ideological. What could shake you to your core? What do you take for granted that might or has suddenly changed?
The Tower is an outer shell, a construct that represents something else. If the construct is destroyed, are we? Or are we left with something more pure? Looking inward, the Tower might be the Ego – our illusions of isolation, self and other.
Sorry about all of the questions, but that is what happens when I look at this card!
Thoughts?
