Hi friend! Think of these posts as little bulletin boards on each of the cards, with post-its from different sources and thought bubbles stuck all over. I may add to them from time to time, as well. Some posts are more fleshed out than others, but that will balance out in time. If you have different insights or thoughts on a card, I would love for you the share in the comments. ♡
Major Arcana — XV — The Devil
Keywords:
- addiction
- dependency / co-dependency
- hedonism
- giving away your power
- obsessive
- vices
Upright
“The devil is a good liar” — Important to remember that this hopelessness is just an illusion the devil has cast.
You are not a slave — You are in control of your own destiny. The two figures are chained to each other, not the devil.
The shadow side of the lovers card. The flip of it is obsession that is unhealthy, all-consuming, feels eternal.
Reversals
Freedom, reclaiming power/control. Being self-aware enough to break the chains. Eyes open enough to not fall back into old, comfortable, bad habits — choosing something different in response to distress.
