The Devil Keywords
THE DEVIL- SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE
The Devil Tarot Card is a symbol of attachment to materialistic pleasures. The card is often depicted as a negative card. It shows a creature with an appearance of half human and half goat. The goat here represents a scapegoat, the one on which we put the entire blame of your mistakes and difficulties. Scapegoat is often used by people to put blame to somehow veil their inferiorities. The creature has a strong hypnotic gaze that mesmerizes everyone around. Above the Devil, the pentagram signifies dark energy of the occult science. The wings of Devil resemble the wings of vampire bats, animals that can suck the blood of humans. It signifies what happens when you submit yourself and give absolute power to your physical and materialistic desires.
At the foot of the Devil, a naked woman and man are standing chained to his chair. It seems that they are held forcefully with chains, but, if you look deeper, it is evident that the chains are loose and can be removed easily. The card suggests that discarding the domination of the Devil is a choice and one may easily free oneself from his materialistic temptations and desires by being self aware. The horns on the head of the man as well as the woman symbolize that they will also gradually turn into Devil depending on the duration for which they remain captive.
