Seduction

passion, manipulation

Hear the roaring flames with the masterful trance that calls upon heaving chest. Give in to its alluring grip. IF YOU PLEASE but heed my warning of the claws that draw blood without mercy.

Sex is the ultimate in desire and temptation. It is not the act of sex that betrays our resolve. It is the delicious journey of passion and pleasure that leads to it. It is the rush of excitement we feel when another can sense our darkest desires and bring them to the surface. It is the loss of control, the desire to at once find freedom and submission.

The act of seduction is powerful. It is birthed in passion and sensuality. But beware: seduction is rarely as it seems. It can also be an act of manipulation. It is the rose that promises you much only to leave you pierced by the its thorns.

Beware the sweet song of Seduction when it comes into your spread. Are a few moments of pleasure worth a lifetime of regret? This card reminds you of the consequences found on the road of temptation. Are you allowing others to manipulate you with grand schemes that are too good to be true?

It is time to break temptation’s hold. It feels good to feel moments of love, acceptance, perhaps abundance or fun but be mindful of the cost of such moments. These experiences are free. You do not have to sacrifice your morals, values or integrity to make another person happy. If someone asks you to do something that feels wrong, know that it probably is. Trust your intuition and follow your heart when temptation comes knocking.

In the reverse, it is you who is seducing. Seduction and manipulation can come in many forms. It can be seeking friendships solely for your own benefit instead of for real connections. Take time to examine how you may be selfishly using others for your own gain. Remember, karma is always waiting to pay you back in kind. No injustice goes unanswered. Little acts of manipulation today can lead to many storms tomorrow.
