    Seeds of Wisdom

    by Arleen
    Envy for material and physical things. Using power for bad purpose.


    Negative thinking by Glo
    The devil tells me that my thoughts create my reality and advised me not to think negatively. It also tells me to use more detachment and let go of negative programing.


    Jail by Loic
    The devil has two servants chained to his kind of pedestal. Are they slaves or are they here because of their own will... In my readings, I often think of the Devil as a card related to attachment. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex... Attachment to someone else, the inability to let go of something, someone or ideas.
