The dark side of man? The Evil one? Is this card all negative or can it show us the light and the path out of the darkness?

This card makes me feel uncomfortable so that i can move on from this card i will wright down all my feelings as i couldn't shorten my notes on this one i can see all of the below in this card
very immature in his behavior he/she applies humour where there's confusion that prevents others from been instinctive which makes him/her cruel and superficial you need to dominate and manipulate others thinking only of the material world and the sense of pleasure there's a lack of vision so you become stuck in your guilt which makes you your own worst enemy this can make you ill and depressed your looking for a scapegoat its easier to blame others than your self for lack of determination and success you know you are making a mistake but the attraction of the weakness is strong

The Devil - The Mythic Deck

I think this crd is about toying with people and their feelings or emotions o rperhaps even controlling them.  Do we all dance to someone elses tune voluntarily or are we being controlled or manipulated?  We all have a wild, carefree side to our characters (well perhaps most of us) and there are others around us that bring that out more.

The ropes that bind us are loose and we can free ourselves at any time WE choose.  Problem is, some people like to make themselves out to be the victim or perhaps blame others for their hardships.

So perhaps there is someone who is a bad influence around us and brings out the wild child in us or perhaps someone controlling or manipulative.

Note:  As with the Judgement card, this pic I found of the Devil is actually reversed of what mine is.  The tiny peopole are on the bottom right of my card.

Words like oppression and bullying perhaps? Being devlish and playing jokes?

Chris what do you make of the white threads across the card? Are they ether? clouds? I can't make them out? Any idea?

MissEm, thats a very powerful card, is he about to kick the playing lovers?

No gem.  he probably couldn't resist a little jig himself. LOL
