#tarot tower

[luakirakira]

One of the misconceptions about the Tower Arcana is that all destruction is caused solely by external factors, while discord between the mind and heart is a more likely and powerful cause. Choosing whether to listen to the mind or the heart, and maintaining balance between them, can prevent all immediate and long-simmering problems

Quick Cullen thought because I’m about to hike out to the south rim of the Grand Canyon to catch the sunrise -

The man is living the Tower life. Tarot Tower, lightning struck tower, major arcana 16.

1. He was living in and part of the ruling system of a literal tower. When it fell, he got moved to …

2. Another tower! Only with more Gallows. More ruling system! It took Anders blowing the thing up and Hawke giving Cullen a notion of another way of being for Cullen to finally get the hint that maybe …

3. He’d been falling out of the Tower for a long time.

4. His third tower (in Skyhold) has a literal hole in the ceiling! His mind is opening up!

The Tower

⬆️Upright - painful loss, destruction, sudden change, revelation

⬇️Reversed - delaying the inevitable, escape, resisting change

For the tower I chose to do a cat tower/tree, but I didn't want to do it broken and on fire.

⚡So I decided to do the lightning/thunder outside the house, but I positioned it in a way that it would seem it’s hitting the cat tower. The lightning is about revelation.

☁️The gray clouds represent the uncertainty of the future. 

🔥For the fire, I did like the little pompoms on the cat tree. In this card, fire is destruction and cleansing.

🩶The “tower” is basically the structure of a cat tree/tower, but each platform has been  customized with cardboard to look like a stone tower. That’s why I tried to make the rocks look like they were made with crayons, to give the impression that it’s homemade. The tower represents a false sense of security or the ego.

🙀🙀In the card there are two figures falling from the tower, they represent (according to my research) the conscious and subconscious and having no control over the situation.  So I drew two cats jumping scared of the lightning/thunder.

⭐ I want to thank @designstack for the suggestion to explain my thought process behind the cards.⭐

I will do the cards that I already post on the weekends, maybe two per post. 

Also, I want to make clear that I’m not a tarot specialist.  

I research the cards before doing them and I do the cards based on what I understand from the research.  If someone doesn’t agree with something that I said, feel free the comment (respectfully) and give your point of view.

The Tower

What's the worst thing that could happen to you right now

What would you do if said thing happened

Are you able to see a new chance in failure

Are you paralyzed when being forced to face drastic changes or can you adapt

Pretty happy with how this card turned out ^^
