Hello people..sorry I havent' been blogging on a regular basis but I have been having computer issues.. Hopefully they are all resolved, so I am back to finish my blog on the major arcana...whoohoo!
Okay, the next card is
The Devil, and The Devil is a card of oppression, fears, and sometimes materialism.
It comes up to indicate times when we are feeling stuck in a role or situation that we feel there is no way out of. It's a feeling of being kept down and or controlled by another person or circumstances, however the chains that the devil binds us with are often not real. We can free ourselves as often times it's been our own selves who have freely given our power away. By entertaining thoughts of despair and feelings of being controlled by external forces we create our own bondage and powerlessness.
When it comes to materialism it can indicate that we are pre occupied with money and only interested in keeping up appearances. It can indicate a marriage or union based on money, and convenience.
The temptation may exist to manipulate people or circumstances for monetary gain.
The Devil is the inner force in man that allows us to fall prey to our fears, addictions and other self defeating impulses or habits.
Reversed-WE see freedom from harmful bonds. We have come to realise what is good for us and perhaps have released ourselves from a relationship that was unhealthy and based on control. One in which we gave up our power to another because we felt such a strong pull to that person. We no longer allow others to keep us down or have control over us.
Fears are released, selfishness is overcome and lessons concerning greed have been learned. We have given up any temptations to manipulate others.
