This may be the dark side of The Magus. The Demiurge has come out to play. Many are struck down on their quest to the top. Only the chosen one can climb the stairway to heaven. He must first aquire the proper understandings and tools or his climb will certainly be disastrous. Recall the lessons of The Hermit and The Hanged Man. Now is the time to stand up and use what you've built up inside. This is often a card of war. Controversy envelopes the top of this tower. Understanding comes at a price. It's lonely at the top.
