XV The Devil (A Collection of the Major Arcana)

The devil presents itself as a beautiful opportunity
Guiding us towards physical pleasures and material gains
But we then find ourselves indulging in temptations and obsessions
And denying the path that fulfills our growth.

The devil saves us to gain our trust
But then guides us further away from the truth
There is always a price to pay
For the illusions we embody in our reality.

I shall deceive you
Through passionate but unfulfilling desires
A hunger for physical pleasures
And material gains.

Reach for the light
And darkness will be left behind.

Through the weakness of your loved ones
I shall cast my shadow upon you
And darkness will drag you into
The bottomless pit.

Reach for the light
And darkness will be left behind.

Your lack of understanding
Will keep you enslaved
As the fear that will rise
Will dilute your reality.

Reach for the light
And darkness will be left behind.

The devil conceals oneness and creates the illusion of duality
To separate us from the greater version of self
There is no devil beyond the human states of consciousness
No shadow is cast in the higher realms.
