Keywords
The Seductive Deception
The Liar beckons you, persuading you to come closer. He has a sensual, ear-caressing voice with a hoarseness — this is the voice you've always wanted to hear, and he tells you what you've always wanted to believe. He promises to share wonderful secrets with you, things he has never shared with anyone else, but will share only with you — because you are special. He has been waiting for you specifically, and it was worth the wait; you are chosen. Come closer. You can deviate from your path; it's perfectly safe. You'll just stray a little bit from your route. You can always run away whenever you want; he won't stop you. There's nothing to fear. His staff is just a walking stick, not a snake. And there's no rat peeking out from his hair. Don't trust your eyes. Come closer.
The Nature of Deception
The Liar embodies danger, addiction, harmful habits, and the separation of spirit or soul from human relationships. He is a hypnotist who easily instills belief in his lies in his victims. He knows what you want, and if one approach doesn't work, he immediately switches to another. You must choose to flee, otherwise you will never rid yourself of him.
Brief Meaning
Addiction to what is harmful. Separation of mind and heart. Soullessness. Manipulation.
If You Look Closely
A magpie, the Liar's bird, has brought him a golden coin. Magpies or their feathers are also present on other cards. Try to find them.
