The Devil: Breakdown

On By HeatherIn Card breakdownLeave a comment

This activity is from the ever amazing Tarot Learning Discord Server: Tarotholics. Definitely join in- the community is warm, welcoming, diverse and super helpful! The below image, card meaning breakdown and description come from Twisttheleaf.

Here’s my contribution:

The sexuality and temptation imagery comes through very clearly with the modern love tarot and the sense of control being outside of the asker. The dominatrix pictured seems to wait to take full control of whatever you need/want, but whether it’s for your good or not, remains to be seen.

Tarot Ultraviolet.te echos the sexuality in the modern love with the strap-on and breasts staring lustfully at the reader. The two creatures on the devil’s shoulder seem to say that there are two sides to choose from, and it’s up to you. The string reminds you that it’s easy to get caught up and tangled in the mess that focusing only on desires can bring.

Mundane Magic focuses much more on the shadow self and self-hatred that can come from previous hurts. There’s a sense of taking control for yourself- the positive side of giving in to your temptations- only you decide what limits you have and what limits exist. There’s none of the sexuality that comes from the Modern Love tarot, though there is a sense of growth, which we could see in the flowering plant.

Happy Readings! 💛💛💛

Monthly Challenge: Lionharts’ WanderLust: Massive Catch up Days 20-24

Hahahaha whoops.

Listen. Listen. Listen. I used to be a blogger, alright? Back when I was in university, and in high school- when I was in my early 20s and the internet was still a fresh young beast. I was a blogger extraordinaire! I’d write multiple posts a day, and they would be so chaotic, ridiculous, awesome, unfiltered and so… cringe. But, I’d write! I would be writing! These days, I’m lucky if I wash my hair correctly every other day. Keeping up with multiple blogs? Impossible. So you’ll have to forgive my lapses. They will be often. They will be long. But hopefully, they will not be forever 🙂

So let’s get crackin’ then shall we?

Day 20: What can I learn from the wind,, the sky or the air element right now?

Card: The Magician Rx: I learn to take control of the things around me, push forward with power- something I’m lacking at the moment. I can tap into my intuition, see where my power can reach to, and see where it fails.

Day 21: How can I harness the warmth around me to fuel my inner fire?

Card: Guardian of Swords (Queen of Swords) Rx: It’s ok to be emotional- to get upset- to burn brighter and stronger at the things that are unfair in the world. I need to take care not to let the fire consume me, and overwhelm me.

Day 22: How can I use nature as a source of creative inspiration?

Card: 5 of Wands: I can use nature to unravel the anger and resentment coiled away inside of me. The inner battle that rages between making money, making others happy, and making myself happy can be fought and soothed through nature.

Day 23: What should I let flow in? What should I let flow away?

Cards: Flow in: 9 of pentacles Rx, Flow out: Greed (the Devil):

Embrace what I’m worth, I am enough, and I need to recognize it. Let go of overindulgence, hanging onto things I don’t need, and desiring more and more.

Day 24: Where should I give myself freedom?

Card: 3 of swords Rx: Give me the freedom to forgive maybe? To let go of any pain I’m carrying and give myself some kindness- the kind of kindness I give to others but not myself.

The deck used is the Tarot for all ages- a cute one though sometimes tricky to read as the court cards are a bit different and some of the major Arcana are renamed, but it’s a good deck!

Happy Readings 💛💛
