Card 15

The Devil

Brief Description

The Devil card signals that you are being bound by negative forces such as bad habits, addictions, materialism, or misguided devotion, creating a sense of restriction. It prompts you to examine where in your life you feel held back and to ask what is maintaining those ties. The card emphasizes that these bonds are often illusory and that you possess the ability to break them at any time. When reversed, the card points toward freedom, the overcoming of bad habits, charitable deeds, and a move toward detachment.

Visual Description

A stark black field fills the card, bordered by a thin white frame and topped with the Roman numeral XV. Near the top center hangs a small golden pentacle. In the lower center a naked figure curls inward, head bowed and hands covering the face, hair falling forward to obscure the features. Golden chains run horizontally across the composition and loop around the figure's waist and body, while the card title appears at the bottom in a simple script.
