Card Description
The Devil extends his hand, offering liberation from the loathsome and promising earthly and material pleasures. While sometimes this liberation is useful and necessary, it hides the fact that it offers everything one can become addicted to. From alcohol, drugs, work, and sex to more subtle dependencies such as co-dependent relationships or toxic influences of others – everything that can lure you into a trap or take over your life, which can be harmful in excess. The Devil is the push that plunges you into your own shadows. He will lure you in, and you will either fully immerse in darkness or work towards healing your beautiful heart. Recognize the things that take your time, your energy, and your love, leaving you empty. Remember, addictions do not necessarily look scary and demonic until they blossom in full force. Aim to free yourself from the ties that keep you trapped. In the darkness, see aspects of yourself as sources of light.
