The Devil

It also takes facing the harsh reality of life including all its ugliness, as shown in The Devil, card number 15.

Here sits the Horned God raised up

The energy of the Life Force in all animals

The strength, ferocity and aggressiveness needed

For evolution, change, and new growth

Right hand raised in blessing

Left hand holding the Torch of Enlightenment

The Torch of Hope

Crowned with the Inverted Pentagram

Reminder of animal Flesh containing Spirit 

Wings of the Bat, flying into the Flow of Life

Free Spirit, releasing the old for the New 

Legs of the Eagle, connecting with spirituality

Chained couple, token of earthly bondage

But flaming tail pointing to hope

Pomegranates holding Paradise
