THE DEVIL CARD NO: 15

Fear, Feeling trapped, Temptation

If anyone where to ask me what card gets the strongest reaction in reading. I would answer the Devil. This card seems very scary and negative. Yet I prefer this card appearence as it brings such a focus energy. Life happens and when bad things happen, we just need to find solutions. As always we will start with understanding and then move on to working the card.

The card shows the devil as the ancient goat-god Dionysus (Pagan/Greek Mythology), sitting on an alter while watching over a male and female captive. This brings a more implasive energy and signs of over indulgence.


NOTE: Tarots cards symbolism may vary from deck to deck. In some decks, the devil will be sitting on a throne indicating more decisive energy. For best results and reading experience please read the booklet that comes with the deck to understand the interpretation of the illustrator.
