Now all we have is lost.  And Hate
Clamours angry at the gate

The Destruction card asks you to face the collapse of what you most value.

Destruction is ugly, but alas, a part of what makes us human, and an all-too frequent feature of human and personal history.

Destructive forces can come from outside, but they can also come from inside. The card asks us to identify those destructive instincts in ourselves, and be careful to channel them lest we surpress them or let them loose, both being dangerous paths for the future.

The card offers little consolation but this: after destruction there is the opportunity to start again. Sometimes we need to be strong - to cope with loss - move on and rebuild. It may leave us better, stronger and more equipped in the future.
