The Devil Card Meaning

‘Playful Pan’ is one of the most feared cards in the pack, mainly due to the modern depictions of the Devil being the ultimate evil.

Really, The Devil is more often just the representation of temptation, or the over indulgence of sensual pleasures.

He’s also closely associated with the vices: lust, greed, addiction, and hedonism.

Not often a positive influence, but he can represent commitment, particularly in relationship, or the fact that the Querent is gaining control of a situation.

The Hierophant Card Meaning

The Hierophant Card Meaning: sometimes called the High Priest, he’s the counterpart to the High Priestess, but represents the wise man rather than the wise woman. He’s a great teacher, adviser, and counsellor and will give good advice even if it’s a bit conventional in spirit. He can represent the feeling of having one’s creativity stifled and is not the favourite card of the deck for the more maverick and unconventional of us!

Well, that is a very interesting question. One can practice transmutation and not look inward at themselves (which is usually done through meditation) and certain results will occur. To transmute means to harness a force and change it. ‘Trans’- is the basic prefix of the word, which indicates ‘from one thing to another,’ and ‘mutate means ‘change into a different form’. To transmute is The Alchemy of The Magician. Continue Reading
