I drew The Tower TWICE for this reading using Poimandres, the Creekmason Discord Tarot bot. Crazy.

The Tower

Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening

Sudden chaotic upheaval is certain!
Change might be called for or maybe you’re hurtin’…
Demolish it all? Blow your lid? If it’s working?
You’ve got to awaken! What lines are you blurring?
The hubris of Babel, the plans God averted,
Where suddenly gibberish was all we were blurting,
You keeping on top of the drama that’s lurking?

The Fall can be scary. There’s good news, however,
You’ll never hit ground, you’ll be floating forever!

It’s just a matter of making the Fall a fall into grace.

I typically do an eight line poem, but since you only got one card, I figured I’d give you an extra line.

This is the first time this has ever happened and I think it’s fascinating that it’s happening with The Tower of all cards. Perhaps one of the most iconic cards of the deck. The one that even people in the normcore world with no knowledge of alternative spirituality know about and fear.

Fun!

Obviously it doesn’t have to be something negative, but certainly you should listen close to the message it brings.

Do you want the chaos that quitting will bring? Is the lucrative, enjoyable stability that you write about in your question seriously something that is worth putting into jeopardy?

When it comes down to it, it’s only a question you can answer.

At the same time, perhaps it’s best to be aware that change is change.

If you quit, what chaos might it cause? What fall might you be called to weather?

Is it worth it?

If you liked this, you can always buy a cup of coffee as a form of Dāna.

The WiggleStick has spoken.

(Dramatic!)

I’m trying to keep this poetry project going for as long as I can. That means I need a little help coming up with questions for readings. If you’d like a poem of your own, please don’t hesitate to…
