Ruler of Hell

The Devil governs the imperial realm of Hell and the lesser hell that humans create for themselves on earth. His energy is a powerful fire, akin to burning iron.

Symbolic Paradox

This paradox symbolizes how desires can both ensnare and consume the captured soul. His followers lose their human likeness, becoming similar to earthly animals as their fading kindness is overtaken by greed and lust for power.

Nature of the Devil

Addictions, manipulations, and emotional slavery lead further into darkness. The Devil himself is half-human, half-beast, with bat wings symbolizing his dark essence and hatred of light. Choose to fight against the darkness.

Contemplation

Carefully examine what tempts you and pulls you into the abyss.

Key Ideas

The allure of darkness, dependence, cynicism, separation from spirit, confronting one's demons.
