I had a dream about doing a tarot reading and them badger came across and sat on the cards. The tower card was the only card I could see in the reading. This is a very significant dream because I have been very stressed over an issue at work. My work has refused my ADA case to make some simple changes for my migraines as well as disallowing me to telecommute even though they have two people in my division working from home who have NO medical need at all already. Also, I only wanted to do so occasionally if I was having problems, along with having some changes in light fixtures and higher walls or putting up a beach umbrella to cover up the flourescent lighting. They denied my case and I am in processs of an appeal. I will only say I work for one of the biggest companies in America so they can afford a few small changes.

I know the tower card should not make me panic, but so many times in the past after I have gotten this card in one of my readings, I have had my life turned upside down. Ok, so if you ask me later - months, or sometimes years later, if they change was for the better, I would have to say yes. It is just going through the chagne itself can be so hard.

Like now. This change of migraine and adjusting to this new life of never going outside in day. Having all the windows covered and never watching TV. This change has been hard, but so many good things on a peronal level are coming out of it.

ON a work level, it still sucks. I get so ill I am still blind in my left eye by the time I get get home. It am no longer recovering by sunday from the Flourescent ligthing by staying in the dark when I get home. I honestly do not believe they believe how painful my condition is or understand what I am going to. They are moving my desk to a brighter location, instead of a darker one. I think I am going to have to get a lawyer.

I am not sure what the lesson here is yet. Is the lesson of the badger? To fight until things are right? Force them to do the right thing for all employees in my position, when all others are too afraid?

Is my lesson to give up and find another career? I live in a rural area so this would be hard to supporrt my family to the same level.

I think that badger is telling me to fight the good fight because it is the right thing to do.

Thanks, badger, for giving me courage to stand up. I need pictures and statues, etc for my desk for my moments of frustration and weaknesss for you have already brought me strength. I love you, badger.



From Guilded Tarot Deck



There's no getting around this one, The Tower is not a
welcome card in a reading yet, at the same time, it does
not warrant feelings of panic or fear. The card can often
indicate an event or period of time that could be
challenging and difficult but, as is so often the case, one
disaster can often lead to a new victory.

For example, an unexpected request for divorce from a
spouse could be devastating, yet I know of people where
such an experience led to them achieving more than they
ever dreamed of because they pursued a different path as a
result. Often, such an incident creates the freedom and
space for a new and greater love to walk into your life.

Many people have experienced bankruptcy, lost their homes
and material possessions only to change tactics and create
great wealth and success. The clearing away of the old
often makes way for the new.

The life lessons we learn from the turbulence indicated by
The Tower help us to rethink and to approach our lives with
a newfound wisdom so that we don't make the same mistakes
again.

So, if The Tower appears in your reading, then there may be
something in your life that will challenge you or has
challenged you, and it will be up to you how you choose to
get over it and learn from the experience.

Sometimes The Tower may represent you as the person causing
the disruption. Perhaps you need to make choices or
decisions that are important to you but could cause
material or emotional loss.  In such a situation, only you
can know whether you are prepared to pay the price.

The Tower can also serve as a warning that a certain choice
or decision could lead to disaster, such as, if you are
considering an extra-marital affair, leaving your job
without a new one to step into, that kind of thing.

Take heed when this card comes up, but don't panic or get
anxious. Consider your options and choices wisely and if
you can avoid such chaos, great! If chaos is forced upon
you, trust that however challenging it may be, you can find
a way to move forward with your life.
