The Devil

The Devil is a figure of greed and corruption. He represents misery, and material obsession. Around him a fire rages representative of his destructive power, behind lie discarded cans of beer like the shells of consumed souls. He holds his hand up in the triumphant horned salute the sign of the Devil. To follow the Devil is to follow self indulgent pleasure too destructive ends.

Dignified: The lust for material wealth and physical pleasure. To embrace the Devil is to set out on a quest for power. The card represents the indulgence of selfish desires. Success at the expense of others, to follow in the footsteps of the Devil may bring you material prosperity but you tread the path alone. The loss of freedom and the poisoning of the soul. Don't be so tight and get a round in!

Ill dignified: The unshackling of chains that have been binding for far too long. The self-centred egomaniac turns into the charitable philanthropist. The loss of focus on the material and the refocusing of the spiritual and emotional. The defeat of old addictions and dangerous habits. That drink problem may not be a problem after all.
