The Devil
Card XV
Ruled By Capricorn
The image
of the Devil is a familiar if sinister one. In the Tarot
he squats above two slavish familiars who are chained to
his pedestal. This is the card of materialism at its
worst. The Devil rules the tyranny of the physical body
and senses. The Devil is the bearer of the inevitable,
often of disaster and misery; it is connected with lust
and greed, and with a refusal to recognize anything other
than the value of pleasure for its own sake.
Meaning: Unyielding power, tyranny, lust and greed. An
immovable obstacle that cannot be overcome yet may be
worked around. Discontent and depression caused by an
overwhelming force. It also means unbreakable bonds. so.
strangely, it is a good omen for marriage!
Reversed meaning: The beginning of freedom, light at the
end of the tunnel, the overcoming of bad habits and
addictions. Charitable deeds and thoughts.
