Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards, specifically focusing on “the devil card feelings.” I’ve always been a bit skeptical, but also curious, you know?
First, I cleared my space. I lit a candle, put on some chill music, and tried to get my head in the right place. I don’t want any funky vibes messing with my reading.
Then, I shuffled the deck. I’m no pro, so I just did that overhand shuffle thing, focusing on what I wanted to know. I mean, I was asking the cards, “What does this ‘devil’ card really feel like?”
Next, I drew a card. Boom. There it was, The Devil. Staring right at me. Honestly, it kind of freaked me out a little.
What I Noticed
- Visually Heavy: The imagery is, well, intense. Dark colors, chains, that horned figure… it’s a lot to take in. It feels like you’re being watched, or judged, maybe.
- Immediate Reaction: I felt this weird mix of things. A little bit of fear, a little bit of fascination, and a surprising amount of… I don’t know, pull? Like, it was drawing me in, even though it was kinda scary.
- Restriction: The image of those chained figures is tough. I just felt so… stuck. Like there’s no way out of a bad situation.
- Temptation: This was the biggest thing for me. It wasn’t like a scary, evil temptation. It felt more like… giving in to something you KNOW you shouldn’t. That little voice saying, “Just one more,” or “It won’t hurt.”
- Obsession: This also came though, linked with the restriction and temptation. Like being in a place you know isn’t good, and not being able to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving the same way.
After sitting with it for a while, I started to understand. The Devil card, feeling-wise, isn’t just about “evil.” It’s more about those icky, internal struggles. It’s that feeling when you’re caught in a bad habit, a toxic relationship, or just doing things you know aren’t good for you. It’s that feeling of being trapped by your own choices.
I definitely got a better sense of what this card’s energy is all about. It wasn’t some mystical, spooky thing. It was more about recognizing those not-so-great feelings we all have sometimes. Makes you think, right?
