The Tower with Heather McCabe Jones and Clair Telford

When are you happy to see The Tower? If you're ready to hold your feet to the fire, then join Victoria and Gwen in welcoming guests Clair and Heather to episode 17 of TABI's Tarot World podcast, where we discuss what might be the most visually, viscerally destructive card in the Tarot. It's ruled by Mars after all, and most versions depict a tower being destroyed -- the walls come tumbling down -- so where do those walls come from in the first place? Are they built up around us by others? Or do we create them as we go along in life, only to discover that we've hemmed ourselves in? One thing is for sure: Tower magick is powerful and it is not picky, so if your plan is to slash and burn, be prepared to release everything and run when the flames take. And yet ... there is hope. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, and regeneration is the reason for fire season. We share our interpretations of the Marseille, RWS, and Thoth Tarot Tower cards; our personal experiences with it; and Heather offers us a meditation to use with the card that works with both the interior and exterior -- the world around us, and the ego that we've put through the wringer in the last few cards. Here, finally, we see what needs to give. We look at the position of The Tower on the Tree of Life and what that tells us about our life path (surprise! It's about balance), and we consider the Hebrew letters Yod, Shin, and Pei -- that fiery speech that can get us all in so much trouble. We wrap up with reversals, crystals, plants, and fragrances. So tell us in the comments ... when are you happy to see The Tower?
