Today I pulled the Tower. A lot of people don't like this card because they see it as a card of tragedy. But, it can also be a card of liberation. Castles can also be prisons where we hide from others and even from ourselves. As we spiral into what feels like end times our castles simply will not protect us. As we face problems and mega-problems, problems too large to really comprehend, like climate change, we create castles of denial and delusion. These castles don't protect us at all, they condemn us to inaction. We can't solve problems and/or mega-problems by embracing denial.
I am invoking this Two of Swords. She asks if you are in denial to the point of being self-destructive? She asks, "are you unwilling to listen to the truth? Or, are you engaged in self-preservation?"
She invites you to remove the blindfold, learn at your own pace and be gentle with yourself as you move forward, leave the castle behind, and embrace reality.
