The Tower - #TarotImageTuesday
Good afternoon!! it's #TarotImageTuesday
This week, it's the The Tower, and I've selected the Mary-El Tarot.
There's an amazing visceral energy to this version of the Tower, the outline of the spikes at its summit just visible through the stark and primal energy, as the tower is consumed.
The crackling energy swirls about it, giving it an almost demonic visage, and the traditional falling figures are similarly portrayed engulfed in flame, their very souls seared from their eyes and mouths.
There is no mistaking the disaster and destruction portrayed by the card, but it reaches beyond the physical in this portrayal, into the spiritual, and the connection with soul. What can rise from the ashes remains to be seen, but the shattered husk would appear to be all that can potentially remain from a fire so harsh in its efforts to strip bare and destroy.
What do you see in the image? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, and we can share the similarities and differences between the images in the various decks!
The Mary-El is by the amazingly talented Marie White, the image is used courtesy of and is © to, Marie White and Schiffer Books, and the deck is available from their website, Amazon, or your local Tarot stockist.
