The Potentiator of the Spirit, also known as the Blasted Tower in Tarot represents the danger and the blindness that accompanies rigid structure and hyperspecialization. It presents the law of the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel is an archetypal story told in many forms across many different cultures. The story tells the tale of the world existing as one people who attempt to bypass Nature and replace the transcendent. But their attempt fails when God sends lighting to strike the tower, destroying their attempts. The people attempting to build the tower are then scattered across the earth and are unable to communicate with each other.
