In France, during the 16th century, the Tarot Tower was known as La Maison Dieu (The House of God). It wasn't so much a tower as it was a temple or church. There's a biblical story about the Tower of Babel, where humans tried to construct a tower to heaven (a highly egotistical endeavor). God was displeased. He..." confused the language of all the earth, and from there...spread them all over the Earth (Genesis 11:9).
Because we question our faith, people have fears about denying their ego and letting go of material pursuits, which can cause them to build their lives on false foundations. Sometimes, it's necessary to experience a tragedy that rocks our World and shakes us up to see what is truly valuable and meaningful to us. It often turns out to be those who love us unconditionally or a spiritual belief that keeps us going strong, but without the tragedy, we would never have seen it or lived up to it. The tragedy doesn't have to be a large-scale tragedy, by the way. It could be anything that feels like a tragedy to you.
