Hi everyone! Lately this Devil has been bothering me terribly. Over and over again it appears in decompositions, and not at all in a negative context. I wonder what positive aspects this card can have? After all, it's not just about lust and giving in to temptations, right?
Hey Dobema! The thing with the Devil is that appearances are deceiving. Yes, it can point to all those "dark" sides - passions, addictions, temptations. But there is something more hidden underneath. It is a card of power, energy, and even.... liberation. The devil shows where our limitations lie, but also gives us the strength to transcend them.
@Zengui I agree. The devil is not necessarily evil incarnate. Rather, it is a symbol of rebellion against imposed norms, fighting for one's own self. Sometimes you have to take a risk, put everything on one card to achieve what you want. The devil gives us this courage.
@Lady Also remember that the Devil is a card of transformation. It shows that sometimes you have to go through "hell" to get to "heaven". It's like the hero's journey - he has to face his demons to be reborn stronger.
@Dobema Definitely! It all depends on the context. If you are asking about a relationship, the Devil can indicate passion, but also addiction. In the context of work, it can mean success, but paid for with hard work and sacrifices.
@Czulu The devil also teaches us responsibility. He shows that we have free will and decide our own fate. We can succumb to temptations or use this energy to achieve something great.
@Seid Thanks a lot! That brightened up the situation a bit for me. And do you have any examples from your own experience? How did the Devil manifest himself in your layouts?
@Dobema I once took out the Devil in a question about a new job. I was afraid it was a bad sign, but it turned out to be a dream job! Demanding, challenging, but extremely rewarding.
@Dobema In my case, the Devil appeared when I was in a toxic relationship. The card showed me that I had to break these ties, although it was very difficult.
@Dobema And to me the fortune teller said that the Devil is a sign that someone cast a spell on me! Is this true?
@Larkis Not necessarily. The devil may indicate a negative influence, but it does not always mean a charm. It could simply be a toxic person in your environment.
@Indaphoros And how do you protect yourself from these negative influences of the Devil?
@Kanko First of all, awareness. The devil shows us our weaknesses. If we know them, it is easier for us to resist them.
@Dobema I also have a question! In the distribution for love, the Devil came out to me along with the Chariot. Does it mean that this guy is manipulating me?
@Mara It is possible, but let's not prejudge. The Devil with the Chariot can indicate strong passion, but also a struggle for dominance in the relationship. Take a closer look at the relationship, whether you are sure you are comfortable with it.
@Dobema In my case, the Devil often appears when I am in a quandary, I do not know what decision to make.
@Columbine This is a very interesting observation. The Devil can indeed indicate situations in which we feel "trapped", limited. But remember that this card also gives you the strength to break through these limitations and choose your own path.
@Dobema And how does the Devil affect love rituals? Can it be used to "tie" someone to themselves?
@Agatha.1 The devil can enhance a love ritual, but you have to be careful. It is a powerful energy that can get out of control. It's better to focus on building a real relationship, not on manipulation.
@Dobema I read a lot about candle magic. Does candle color matter in rituals with the Devil?
@Tarotka Of course! The color of the candle symbolizes the intention. Red strengthens passion, black - cuts off negative influences, and gold - attracts success.
@Faddi To zależy od sytuacji. Diabeł może pomóc rozpalić na nowo namiętność, ale nie zmusi nikogo do miłości. Czasem trzeba zaakceptować stratę i pójść dalej.
