I admit I was expecting something more left field for this one – kind of like what we got with the Ma’at Tarot. I see – on the surface - more of the traditional decks here with the horned ‘pan’ – nature and the inverted pentagram as well...
BUT - what IS fascinating AND a departure is the fact that the Devil’s head also looks like the head of the Pharaoh with the wings and the striped crown of Kings with the Sun in behind. The words that come to mind are God on Earth - the descent of Spirit into Man.
And it is as if the Magician’s geometry has become a construction site. The four elements are there in symbol on what look like scaffolding. It is like the reversal of the final moments of Neo’s life in the last installment of the Matrix series….
Kundalini is wound up and coiled, undiscovered.
There is so much to this card and the more I look, the more I find. I know on my first impressions I dismissed it, I think I would have lived to regret that!
Thoughts?
