थे TOWER

THE TOWER is the next card of THE TAROT that I choose to discuss and mention rather than following any set order of the usual sort, that is, from 1-21 and the 0,which is placed in differing parts of the deck,depending on the system, the school, the teacher or expositor,etc. which also ends up involving the various other numerical/alphabetical systems in relation to 'THE LADDER OF LIGHTS' or 'THE TREE OF LIFE' and other aspects of the Kaballah...etc. Esoterically,however, THE TOWER relates to the CHARIOT & THE CHARIOTEER....and from looking at the various depictions of the TOWER SYMBOL CARD, one can see that it pertains to these topics:THE FALL OF MAN(MANKIND OR HUMANS), THE FALL OF ATLANTIS; AND THE FALL OF THE TOWER OF BABEL(also the Fall of Babylon/Babel)....and the TOWER replaces the older symbol of THE PYRAMID(generally the great pyramid. The TOWER is also a Phallic symbol and relates on several levels to energies of all kinds.....when discusses from perspective of 'kundalini',etc.
