Geocache Description:

Scattered Fate. The 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot deck are scattered all over Brighton. There used to be a final for the 22 tarot cards to point to, but the series grew too much for me, too. The remaining caches will be maintained until an appropriate time (each by each), but the final is archived now.

The Tower is buring, just struck by lightening, as two people are falling. The Tower may be the Tower of Babel, built by man to reach the Heaven destroyed by God. With the exception of the downfall of Adam, which Waite disagrees, there is little mention of who the two figures falling are.

The Tower Tarot card has numerous meanings attached to it, often change, usually on the harsher side. This is a downfall of the mind, of intellect.

Upright: A realization that you, in fact, don’t know all about that topic, an ego blow. A change that is very sudden and unexpected. Misery, distress, adversity, calamity, disgrace, deception, ruin. It is a card in particular of unforeseen catastrophe.
Reversed: The meaning is similar with a lower degree of harshness. Perhaps because those falling will have no ground to hit!

Container is a pill bottle now.
