Difference between revisions of "The Tower"

In some Belgian tarots and the 17th century tarot of Jacques Viéville, the card is called ''La Foudre'' or ''La Fouldre'', ("The Lightning") and depicts a tree being struck by lightning. In the Tarot of Paris (17th century), the image shown is of the [[Devil]] beating his drums, before what appears to be the mouth of [[Hell]]; the card still is called ''La Fouldre''. The [[Tarot of Marseilles]] merges these two concepts, and depicts a burning tower being struck by lightning or fire from the sky, its top section dislodged and crumbling. Two men are depicted in freefall against a field of multicolored balls.
