ड्श्र्टूटीण ऑफ़ थे तोवेर

The destruction of THE TOWER as depicted in the TAROT DECK(S) has had many commentaries by users of the cards over the years.....and the design usually shows a 'bolt to lightning' striking the top of the Tower or it's 'crown' with two persons falling to the ground, as if, 'PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL', and taken to mean generally the 'FALL OF MANKIND' but in some circles to mean the liberation of various energies in the body.....and the design of the lightning bolt takes on the familiar zig-zag usually found in cartoons..... Creating a modern,contemporary version of this important card, would include TWIN or DOUBLE TOWERS with planes instead of lightning striking them...to 'commemorate' what has been described as:'America's Second Pearl Harbor' or 'this generation's Pearl Harbor' or 'the Baby Boomer's Pearl Harbor' an incident that took place on 09/11/2001.......... In either case, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWER(S) arouses various emotions in people.....whether it is THE TOWER OF BABEL in Babylon or THE TWIN TOWERS of NYC. Thus, a TOWER is also seen by many in the world as a sign of Pride & arrogance....symbols of ostentation, corruption, ignorance of GOD, irreligion, MATERIALISM, IMPERIALISM, etc.
