I just got the MAAT, and it's wonderful. But I totally don't get the devil..the picture is arresting, a woman on hands and knees giving birth to light..it's beautiful. It's meaningful, it's the winter solstice --But how does it relate to the Devil?
You know, Old Cranky. Or our bad habits, or negitive thinking, or addictions, or how and where we lie to ourselves, or even (gasp) true evil.
But This?
I have read the entry in the book. I have thought about it. I have slept on it. I have hauled out my copy of the Blue Moon Majors, and their little book. (Same concept, different art, if you're curious) all of them have been no help.
So what am I missing here? do you understand this? If you do, please share. If you don't please post anyway, help me not feel like an idiot! I mean, I thought I had some kinda grip on the Devil concept in Tarot...and now this??
Horrors!
All kidding aside, does anyone understand this? I want to be able to use this deck, Devil and all.
