Meaning

Disaster or catastrophe that ends in enlightenment and liberation. A dramatic overthrow of some major aspect of your life. A shattering of false premises.

Visual Description

A tall, gothic tower stands like a haunted mansion with a blazing crown tumbling from its top as lightning forks across a dark sky. Ghosts and bats wheel among stars and raindrops above; windows glow red and show pale faces peering out. A wrought-iron gate and ivy-covered brick pillars topped with skulls, a black cat and a winged gargoyle guard the entrance while jack-o'-lanterns grin at the path. The scene is crowded with falling leaves, eerie figures in windows, and sharp spires against the purple night.
