Life seems so rosy in the cradle/ But I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store/ There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow/ There’s nothing to grow up for anymore. The thing with The Tower is, fuck The Tower. I’m gonna do the whole thing where I talk about what it means and its complexities and the ways that it’s really important even though it hurts, but first, a galaxy brain: When people start learning tarot, they often make an informal list of “bad cards.” Before they know what any of the cards mean, the list is comprised of Death and The Devil. When they start to learn more, other cards get added— the Three of Swords, the Ten of Swords, all the Fives. Eventually, you get it drilled into you by books and blogs and explainer videos that there is no such thing as a bad card. There are hard cards, but all of them are here to help you understand things that already exist in you, and that’s beautiful. But then you keep reading, and start hanging out with other witches, and get a little less precious, and start texting your friends pics of cards when you pull them and ask them to tell you that The Tower isn’t actually bad tho right lol and then they leave you on read. If I put any sort of thought into it, bad is an almost offensively inaccurate word for The Tower. But when I pull it for myself, my brain doesn’t scream for accuracy; it just screams
