Interactive Tarot Online Reading for The Devil

Your Chosen Card – The Devil Reversed Rider Waite Deck

When reversed, the Devil card suggests that you may have gone too far in pursuing pleasures and sensual delights. Imbalance and extremes of behavior may be causing difficulties. Obsessive devotion to any type of materialistic goal or corporeal pleasure is a form of bondage and entrapment. Sometimes things that feel good arent good for us. An important feature of the image on the Devil trump is that the chains are easily removed once you realize they are present. Otherwise you end up echoing the words of Oscar Wilde: ‘I can resist anything except temptation.’

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: In the latter half of the eighteenth century, amidst the burgeoning interest in ancient Egypt, French occultists began to publish wild speculations about the influence of Egyptian mythology on the tarots development. In 1773, the French pastor Antoine Court de Gébelin claimed (without a shred of evidence except his vivid imagination) that Egyptian priests coded the Book of Thoth into the images of the tarot. Occultists took this fanciful theory and ran with it as if this unsubstantiated conjecture were established fact.
