The Devil
The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through
Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.
Two figures chained beneath a horned throne — but the chains hang loose
Desire that knows what it wants; heat and focus
The habit or bond you cannot cut; chains you hung yourself
The chains are loose — decide, and they slip off
As your card of the day
If The Devil is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Desire that knows what it wants; heat and focus”. When it tips toward “The habit or bond you cannot cut; chains you hung yourself”, remember the way the picture draws: The chains are loose — decide, and they slip off.
