Daily Draw | The Devil 090920

September 9, 2020 by Noebie

TdM The DevilYou can never get enough of what you didn’t want in the first place.

This card has turned up twice in the last five days, so I figured that I should review my reference material and figure out what the heck it means.

The core meaning of the Devil card is a negative relationship, whether with another person, a substance, a habit, a job, a thought pattern. It can be about maintaining loyalty to a vice, pleasure seeking at the expense of something more meaningful, shamelessness in conduct, or attraction to something that is an illusion.

Here is a list of words or phrases  used to describe this card: ignorance, materialism, hopelessness, bondage, negative thinking, betrayal, secrecy, illusion of feeling trapped, impulsive or compulsive behavior.

Another key to this card is trickery. When we are deepest into a negative pattern may be when we are least likely to see it.

The acolytes on this card remind me of Pinnocchio turning into the jackass.

This card bids us shine a light on negative patterns and limitations in our lives, and examine questions about where we feel most out of control. Although I have made progress, for me, this may involve longer term financial health. There are also still some compulsive personal behaviors that I need to examine.

In relationships with others, this card is prompting me toward empathy and meeting my loved ones’ needs, rather than expecting a quid pro quo. In my marriage, I should be more focused on providing for my wife’s overall well being first and foremost.

Joan Bunning sums up the message of the Devil card thus: “Hold fast to the highest vision of who you are.”

Love. Serve. Remember. Tell the truth.
