Sudden revelation and the fall of false structures.
Upright
Upheaval, shock and liberation. Something built on a false foundation comes down. It is hard, and it is clearing ground for the truth.
Reversed
Avoiding a necessary collapse, or rebuilding the same tower on the same cracks.

The meanings, the questions and the correspondences are the guidebook’s own. The paths, letters and astrology follow the Golden Dawn’s attributions; the angels are the Shem ha-Mephorash, as the deck gives them; the spirits, shown only when you ask for them, are the seventy-two of the Goetia. Where each comes from, and what is old and what is modern, is set out in the guidebook’s Notes on sources and seals.
