Tarot Devil

Tarot Devil

Tarot Devil, a major arcana trump card, is an explanation expressed through art. The card is a depiction of adversity overcome by humour. There is a correspondence between the Devil and Capricorn.

The central figure displays the personality required for facing adversity: a sense of humour.  This is also emphasised by the figure’s horns, which are reminiscent of a jester’s cap.

The spiral beard symbolises time.

The blocks below are the challenges that need to be overcome so they become stairs to achievement.

The image is God and the Devil; our perspective on life’s situations determines which we experience.

This card is the culmination of a process that began with the Hierophant. Continued by processes of discernment experienced with the Hermit and finally brought into consciousness as awareness of actualized phenomena by the Devil.
