I was thinking about the usual little fear jolt we can get from images of the tower, and in a way, it's not any different from the feeling everyone gets from seeing those images of the towers...you want to avert your eyes. At the same time, the event really was the embodiement of what the card can stand for-- an awakening, but one that can come from an unpleasant or even shattering experience. Even weirder, the image of the flaming towers was in the zeitgeist already - remember how many artists, musicians, etc., used that imagery before it actually happened? The question for me was, is that some kind of premonition in the collective consciousness, or worse, some kind of unconsciouss direction of will? (a self-fulfilling magical act, if you will) I’m working on one as well… I was thinking about the usual little fear jolt we can get from images of the tower, and in a way, it’s not any different from the feeling everyone gets from seeing those images of the towers…you want to avert your eyes.
