15. The Devil

The Devil lamb occupies the center, symbolizing animal instincts. The red background is cursed. Two naked lambs below show animal instincts, their chains breakable, but they don't escape, possibly due to corruption. They have vitality and enthusiasm but focus energy narrowly.

Upright Meaning

The Devil lamb corresponds to Capricorn and Pan, representing desire and materialism. Spiritual pursuits are ignored, and material desires become the focus, becoming blind. He might represent success in fame and power or bondage in loveless relationships. Chasing materialism leads to bondage. Being chained is one thing, refusing to break free is hopeless. Excessive material pursuit may turn into addiction. Letting go might bring freedom.

Keywords: Desire, bondage, indulgence, temptation, lust, materialism

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, chains fall, symbolizing breaking free from material bondage, open-mindedness, gaining freedom, showing positive meaning, but less favorable for fame and fortune. It indicates breaking free from desire and the Devil. Alternatively, it may be more evil and corrupt, using improper means or even crime for desires.
