The Devil
Placing yourself in a situation where you are caught in a feeling of bondage, an unwanted situation, being obsessed, losing independence, allowing yourself to be controlled, being addicted and enslaved, submitting to another, not being able to accept what is given
focusing on the material, being caught up in appearances, believing only in the physical and forgetting the spiritual, overindulging the senses, staying in ignorance, operating within a narrow range, choosing to stay in the dark, fearing the unknown, being taken in by appearances
feeling hopeless, believing the worst, despairing, lacking faith, thinking negatively, foreseeing a bleak future, doubting, deluding yourself into believing that if you cannot have everything, you have nothing
This is not my final word on this card by any means - but I needed to get it out of the way... yeah, almost done with that story I've been hammering on...
