REVERSALS: The Devil Reversed

Ana's Song

Resurrecting an old thread here :)

I've been meditating/ruminating on the Devil rx (RWS deck) for a few hours now. And the thought just struck me - and of course I had to share with others who would understand! - the reversed trump 15 could mean that the couple are not ready to break the bonds between each other yet, not ready to face down the devil, so he's sending them back to trump 14, Temperance. So it could very well indicate a positive strengthening of a relationship - away from temptation, in preparation for future challenges and temptations.

I'm not very articulate at the moment due to lack of sleep but hopefully have communicated my random garbled thought? :)

The Devil Upright as a temptation might indicate that as a reverse the person has already succumbed.

The Devil upright as a warning against following your baser instincts might indicate that it is too late, they have already gone there.
