Symbolism

The Devil holds His Black Book, awaiting the witch’s signature. With it, the witch begins their path on their quest for untold power. This path brings with it a new way of life, control over circumstances, and communion with supernatural forces that govern the secret workings of the World. The act of signing the Book ignites the primordial Witch Flame, allowing the witch to realize new talents and reach new heights! He stares to the witch with burning eyes, ablazed with the fiery ether, and He gives a subtle grin, knowing that He has freed you from the shackles of the mundane. The witch is now in control of their own Fate.

Divinatory Meaning

When you invoke the Eight of Disks in a reading, it is the beginning of a new path toward your success. You have signed the Devil’s Book, so to speak, and your success is pretty much guaranteed if you keep your current course. You will have success in new projects or business opportunities, and now is the time for you to shine. Your skills are going to reward you and you can truly do what you love doing: creating. Even if you are new or inexperienced, your potential is limitless, so make sure you keep believing in yourself and your process.

Banished Meaning

A banished Eight of Disks signals some kind of dishonesty in work or business. You are vain but without reason to be, so watch your ego. Justified vanity is given to those who earn it and you have yet to do so. Because of your ego and need to succeed, you may find yourself cutting corners, rushing, or doing things that require effort with as little effort as possible. This is going to threaten your success in the long term. Do not look for the easy way out but apply your skills to make sure you produce only your best.
