ENCOUNTER WITH THE ABSOLUTE - Two archetypes deter-

mine the meaning of this card: the Tower of Babel and Pentecost.

The building of the Tower of Babel is a symbol of human meg-

alomania, culminating not only in the destruction of the tower

but also in the Babylonian confusion of tongues. Pentecost

is the opposite of the building of the tower. The Holy Ghost

descends upon the disciples in the form of a storm and tongues

of fire. As they start to talk, everyone hears themselves speaking

in their own language. Instead of a confusion of tongues, this

event symbolizes the tearing down of all language barriers.

Babel and Pentecost are two opposite poles. Violence de

stroys and results in speechlessness and confusion. In contrast.

love tears down all language barriers and makes true communi-

cation possible without limits.

The card cautions you to beware of megalomania and lack of

steadfastness. There might be rocky times ahead. You are urged

to leave your ivory tower and your personal objections and

pretences behind when the time is ripe. This card also involves

jumping out of the clouds and turning the free fall into flying,

PRACTICAL ADVICE -Go ahead and give it your all! You

will gain more love and protect yourself better from danger if you

learn consciously to deal with your energy. Risk being more di-

rect! Make a leap into the unknown-even if the consequences

are unfathomable.
