Symbolism

The Devil of Fire sits as the colossal Horned Lord of Witches, holding the pitchfork that is conjuring the element of Fire that He wields to inspire new witches, igniting their Witch Flame. He burns with the fire of passion and invention. Below Him is the forest of possibility that arouses the curious to take a step into its Darkness, discovering the potential of our strength and courage. He welcomes His witches with the visage of a handsome gentleman, a symbol of His magnetic energy that rouses the witches’ passion as they dance around His great, ebony throne.

DIVINATORY MEANING

The cards invoke the Lord of Staffs to represent a noble person of strong, magnetic character. This person, you or someone else, is extremely attractive, athletic, physically strong, and social. This person is the epitome of an extrovert. They like to be social and be around people, and people like to be around them. You come or this person comes from a very powerful lineage. If this card is you, research your family history because it will reveal some unexpected surprises. Along with these attributes comes a strong will and a natural instinct to act out of emotion rather than intellect.

Banished, the Lord of Staffs represents the worst kind of person, their passion and will corrupted. They are prejudiced, bigoted, and perhaps misogynistic. They have extremely archaic viewpoints and are often conservative and puritanical. They may be a religious fundamentalist with a false sense of morality that makes them judge others with condemnation. They believe themselves to be righteous, that they can do no wrong.
