The Devil
This card uses a cheeky kittycorn image to highlight attachments, temptations, and the small comforts that can become binding habits. Upright, it warns of excess, fear of loss, and being controlled by craving or routine, urging you to notice where delight becomes compulsion. The chains are depicted as soft and often self-maintained, suggesting bondage is frequently a choice born of comfort and denial. Reversed, it offers the possibility of shedding collars, naming shadow tendencies, and reclaiming agency with gentle, deliberate action, framing liberation as both honest confrontation and playful rebellion.

Visual Description
A plump kittycorn with tiny bat-like wings and a rainbow horn sits atop a dark stone pedestal, holding a small flame in its tail. Two smaller kittycorns stand below, each wearing collars connected by chains that lead to the pedestal. The figures are set on a rocky plain beneath a starry night sky, framed by a decorative lacy border with the number 15 and the word "Devil" visible on the card.
Meaning
This mischievous kittycorn points out the shiny temptations and soft chains that can keep you stuck in familiar patterns, turning play into a kind of bondage if left unchecked. In upright spirit, The Devil leans into classic RWS ideas: attachments, excess, fear of loss, and the feeling of being controlled by habit or craving. It nudges you to notice where delight becomes compulsion and where small compromises have accumulated into heavy collars. Yet the imagery is cheeky rather than cruel, and the chains on these cute creatures remind you that bondage is often a choice maintained by comfort and denial. Reversed, the card sparkles with the possibility of slipping off those collars, naming shadow tendencies, and reclaiming agency with a deliberate, brave paw. Whether read as a gentle warning or an encouraging promise, this kittycorn deck frames liberation as both honest confrontation and playful rebellion against what dulls your rainbow. Meet your shadows with softness, tug at the chains, and remember that freedom can be found in small, determined leaps.
