Crowley Countdown - Day 7

"With thy right Eye create all for thyself,

and with the left accept all that be created otherwise."

 -Aleister Crowleye

The Devil is one of the most misunderstood cards of the tarot. The Devil is not evil. The Devil reminds us that unashamed sexuality is part of the human experience. To deny our physical desires in pursuit of spritual attainment only leads to frustration and fanaticism. 

The Devil is about the enjoyment of all things material and sensual, yet at the same time we must not become entrapped solely in the physical world and deny our spiritual and divine nature.

The Devil has become the symbol for things deemed amoral by those who espouse a puritanical outlook on life. "The devil made me do it", is a favorite way to blame an outside source on your actions, rather than accept full responsibility.

Even a deck of playing cards was once called "The Devil's Picturebook".

I leave you with some music, and a reminder that should you wish to consult "The Devil's Picturebook", I am available for online readings. Book a reading here.
