A horned and winged devil sits on a black altar, with a naked man and woman bound in chains at his feet. He holds a lit torch in one hand and the other is raised as if to prevent anyone from approaching. The Devil represents the Fool’s shadow, all the repressed and unmentionable desires he holds within.
The Devil is in the business of bondage, entrapment, obsessions, and giving in to your desires. It signifies a situation from which there is no escape, or a road leading to one. It might indicate self-delusions. Forewarning may let you avoid the trap, or it may not. What sort of trap, and how you might avoid it, depends on where the Devil appears in your spread, and what other cards surround it. This card does not foretell doom, only the need for prudence.
