The Devil

Card Information: Little Black gazes unblinkingly at the beautiful “kitten” ahead, moving toward it step by step. Yet in an unseen corner, a chain has already been linked to its tail.
Upright: Material temptation; desire; hedonism; downfall
Reversed: Escaping bondage; self-awareness; self-reflection

The cat fixes its gaze on the puppet cat in front of it. At some point a chain has appeared on its swaying tail, linking it to the other, representing bondage and limitation. Hidden in the bushes behind is the devil, whose playful expression suggests that everything is going according to plan. Flames at the cat’s feet burn continuously, reminding it of danger—this signifies inner desire. Yet the cat’s attention is entirely focused on the object of its affection. The five-pointed star-shaped control bar above suggests the negative energy of darkness and evil.
