The Tower

The Tower is a card of destruction. Pride is the downfall of man, what is built can be toppled, ego shattered by nature. Malus sieversii is an old world apple – it represents the fall from The Garden of Eden, and man’s awareness leading to its ruin. Conversely, it can be a card of fear, and resistance to change – the knowledge that if you’re not careful, your decisions may lead down a path you may not want to venture.
