The devil is the fifteenth card of the major Arcana. I chose this picture to symbolize the devil because the devil doesn't exist. This sculpture suggests a body form but is a hollow shell. As the devil is a symbol, not a literal being, I thought when I saw the results of the picture it was my perfect devil.
Often the first reaction of a client when seeing this card is one of dislike. Much has been written and painted about the devil being a scary half beast half human. The devil partly represents our dark side, and often people don't want to own their dark side. We get scared of looking at our destructive/addictive nature. If we don't take the time to self examine our selves it will always be an unknown tempation.
This card also represents the attachment to the pleasure of the planet. Life is about embracing our human nature without becoming addicted to the earthly delites. It is also about being able to laugh at ones self. Enjoy being human, never forgetting that it is only a journey to another dimension. So don't postpone...practice your inner smile and look within.
