The story of Icarus comes from Ancient Greece. In the myth, the boy and his father try to escape the tower in which they were trapped using wings of father and wax created by the father, Daedalus. Their story is used as a warning of hubris as it ends in tragedy when Icarus falls after disregarding Daedalus', flying too close to the sun and falling to the sea.

The Divinity

The tale of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, mirrors the Tower tarot card's warning against unchecked ambition. Both narratives caution against hubris and the consequences of overreaching. Icarus's fall and the Tower's collapse symbolize the abrupt upheaval that follows disregarding warnings. Yet, amidst the chaos, there's potential for growth and transformation, reminding us of the importance of humility and acceptance in the face of change.
