Description of the Tarot Devil's Blade

The Devil's card is the arcana 15 of the Tarot. It features a satyr. It is a creature that is not quite human. She has goat horns (a frequent representation of the Devil), breasts and the sex of a man.

It has bat wings. One could say that the Tarot Devil represents both a scapegoat for all our misfortunes and a character who sucks all our energy. This representation shows that when we indulge in addictions and passions, they take all our energy and leave us without vitality.

When you look at the Tarot Devil, he squints, sticks out his tongue and laughs at the same time. The Devil has the ability to hypnotize us into his nets.

Its purpose is to attract humans to exercise its power over them. On the second plane of the card, there are 2 imps. A female imp and a male imp.

They're attached to a chain and seem to be held against their will. The ties seem to be loose, but the hands behind their backs show a lack of willingness to let go. Thus, the Devil knows how to keep people close to him despite their will but without effort.

Both characters resemble the Devil. Notably, just like him, they have horns, although smaller... The Devil's company transforms their beings. On the other hand, the tails show that they are less and less human. The Devil rests on a globe that could symbolize the world.

The meaning of the Devil in the Tarot:

The Devil is a card full of contrast. This card which can appear very positive in certain respects is always imprinted with a form of enslavement and must always be analysed in detail.

The Devil represents the power of the dark side of man.

Its animal side with its passions and impulses that it cannot control.

It is also about the attraction that certain pleasures or habits can exert on him.

The Devil's card is shown upright:

The Devil represents all that is hidden, all the dark forces within us. He can therefore indicate that you are imprisoned in habits or forces that are often external but that you cannot control.

Pulling the Devil's card is heavy with meaning and all the negative aspects are concentrated when the Devil comes out right side up.

With the Devil in a Tarot deck, you must expect negative changes, dangers beyond the consultant's control and against which he cannot resist.

Thus evil can be excess or lack. Excess when it becomes destructive, so in that case evil triumphs, dominates and takes all.

The Devil creates the illusion. This is undoubtedly the most dangerous. He knows how to deceive by appearances.

Terrible upheavals can occur. Lack, when it comes to lack of energy, nihilism, apathy, submission and dependence on other people or forces.

To harmonize the deep strength within you and regain vitality, meditate with the Devil's card.
