The Tower Tarot Card Spread - A Tarot Spread for Sacred Destruction
Published
Summary of the Tower Tarot Card Meaning
After the Fool meets and integrates with their shadow, they are liberated of their guilt, shame and self-made prisons. They come to another striking realization. In their past life, they lived within and perhaps even helped build structures, processes and rules in service of upholding and protecting ideals that no longer reflect the totality of the Fool’s self. This once shining Tower that carried all their lofty ambitions and hopes now feels more like yet another jail. The Fool realizes that this structure that they took for granted as always needing to exist - simply because it has always existed - must be dismantled. The destruction is fearsome, vicious, ugly and violent. But without it, nothing better can be built.
Light: Collapse, upheaval, disaster, reckoning
Shadow: Delaying disaster, endurance, avoidance

A Note on the Fool's Journey Tarot Spreads: This is part of a series of tarot spreads inspired by the lessons of the Fool’s Journey, represented by the major arcana of the tarot. Since each major arcana card embodies a stage in one’s life journey, a lesson, or an archetype, we can use them as the foundations to explore moments of our own personal journeys. They also happen to be great ways to explore the meanings of each of these tarot cards in a very personal way.
