I’ve been looking forward to this one since the series first started.
perfection. This is weird. I remember seeing just the first part of the Tower post a week ago, and now, I can see the entire story of the Tower card, which reminded me of how we can feel the crumbling start, but we are stunned into paralysis. What will happen? Maybe if I just shut out the rumbles everything will go away, but, then. But, then. The rumbles come back and the realization sets in. “It was supposed to last forever…” We say over in our head, and then the breakdown begins. “These structures were a fallacy.” Should we stay with the tower and crumble with the structure, or should we run away and find solid ground to establish our own rules. Going through a rebirth is difficult, but staying with the rubble can be soul-crushing.
Whoo, I got inspired. This is a beautiful series that encourages a deep dive.
Thanks for sharing!

We’re so glad this speaks to you! This chapter in particular has really connected with a lot of people – the comics make it so much easier to fully understand the essence of the card. Thanks for your lovely comment!
Oh my lords that’s a good ending. This is my new favorite tale.
Divine! Yes, it really does help so much with understanding the essence of the cards, and it sparks inner conversation. I LOVED this interpretation of the Tower card. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Kylee Pinecone for creating it. So, so, very wonderful.
