The ban hammer isnt often swung around here but when it is its swift and righteous. Never missing yet somehow only hits the intended target leaving only a singed shadow behind. Because of that I imagined a sleeping giant hammer at the side, sleeping away peacefully. Let it sleep, it's never fun when the lord of destruction wakes.
While the Tower is typically interpreted as destruction a more nuanced interpretation is sudden change. A great tall tower blasted apart by lightning is not often predictable. Something new is about to occur and it's not going to wait. Change occurs even when we arent ready for it. Something we all have experienced.
With this I am almost done with the 22 greater arcana. Only five cards left; the Star, the Sun, the Moon, Judgement, and the World. It's been a labor of love and I hope it's been enjoyable. Putting these out has helped keep my mind clear.

Second Perspective:
The Tower represents destruction, crisis and upheaval… but also means higher knowledge and liberation; Creation and Destruction are two halves of change itself, much like Death.
However, the reverse involves stagnation, impasses, illness, volatility, loss, even vanity. The rich grow richer, the poor become poorer.
Famous depictions of this card, especially the Rider-Waite version, have a crown at the top, representing the dominion of materialistic thought. As for the tower itself, it could be a reference to the Tower of Babel, humanity’s attempt at reaching the heavens that serves as the mythological reason for why there are different languages around the world--but besides that, it also bears ties to the planet Mars.

BONUS: In the Belgian and 17th-century Jacques Viéville versions of the deck, The Tower is replaced by La Foudre (‘The Lightning’), where a man and some animals witness a bolt of lightning split a tree in half. Though, the meaning of the card is relatively intact otherwise.
