The Tower
UpheavalRevelationSudden changeLiberation
Card XVI — the destruction of illusion. Everything the Fool built that wasn't real — every false belief, every ego structure — is struck down in a single moment. It is terrifying and necessary.
The Narrative
Lightning strikes a stone tower, shattering its crown. Two figures fall through the air. Flames pour from the windows. It looks like disaster. It is disaster — but it is also the most honest card in the deck. The Tower is what happens when something built on a false foundation finally meets the truth. The destruction is real. So is the liberation.
