Your Chosen Card – The Prisoner Reversed Mage Deck
When reversed, the Tower implies that you may be avoiding necessary change or failing to learn from a traumatic situation. We cannot avoid the fact that bad things happen to good people, but we can take advantage of the opportunity to grow in wisdom from whatever we experience in our lives. Consider the parable of the house built on sand: ‘ a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand, and the rain descends, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon the house and it fell: and great was the fall of it’ (Matthew 7:2627, KJV). In what ways have you built your house on sand?

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Lets do an experiment. Take the Tower (trump XVI) from your tarot deck. In Llewellyns Classic Tarot, the scene depicts a tower struck and shattered by lightning. Two occupants of the tower fall headfirst toward the rocks below. In mythology, the thunderbolt is a favorite weapon of the gods who evidence their displeasure by hurling bolts of lightning at mortals below. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus believed that the sky god Zeus represented the ordaining pattern of the universe and that Zeus thunderbolt symbolized divine force steering the course of events.

Protect him in all his two hundred and forty-eight organs against imprisonment and against the two-edged sword. Help him, deliver him, save him, rescue him from evil men and evil speech, and from a harsh litigant, whether he be Jew or Gentile. Humble and bring low those who rise against him to do him evil by deed or by speech, by counsel or by thought. May all who seek his harm be overthrown, destroyed, humbled, afflicted, broken so that not a limb remains whole; may those who wish him ill be put to shame. Save him, deliver him from all sorcery, from all reverses, from poverty, from wicked men, from sudden death, from the evil effects of passion, from every sort of tribulation and disease. Grant him grace, and love, and mercy before the throne of God, and before all being who behold him. Let the fear of him rest on all creatures, as the mighty lion dreads the mightier mafgia. I conjure [name], son of [mothers name], in the name of Uriron and Adriron [sic]. Praised be the Lord forever. Amen and Amen.
