The Devil, XV

The Tarot Devil represents the fallen angel, Lucifer, who tempted Eve in the garden to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Therefore, the Tarot Devil represents anything we are tempted by (Jesus being tempted for forty days and forty nights in the desert) and anything that will try to prevent us from walking the straight and narrow path to redemption. 

Keywords: Temptation, being put to the test, sin, bondage, and, when reversed, dropping the chains that bind or unconscious fears, negative self-talk, self-loathing, lust, unhealthy attachments, addictions, or things have gotten worse with bondage and abuse (of any kind).
