Crowley Countdown - Day 6

"Break down the fortress

of thine Individual Self,

that thy Truth may spring free from the ruins."

- Aleister Crowley

Many people are afraid of this card. I suppose because it conjures up images of out of control and unpredicted circumstances. I personally, have never been frightened of receiving The Tower in a reading. For me it is a cautious warning not a prediction. Nothing ever lasts forever. When you open your psychic eye you will see the folly of putting faith into anything permanent. 

It is to a certain extent about destruction, but also the knowing that sometimes destruction is necessary for new growth to occur.

Solve et Coagula

 (Solve et Coagula, meaning "dissolve and coagulate," is a Latin phrase originating from alchemy, signifying the process of breaking down and reforming something to create something new or purified.)
