About three years ago- I embarked on a relationship that I felt would last. He seemed steady, a guy who had learned his lessons and committed to always bettering his life.
I did a relationship reading then and the Devil came up. I didn't quite understand it then.
We have been split up for almost six months now, and I asked what his feelings for me were (gah! Prying... I shouldn't have done it but it taught me something). The Devil came up.
No matter what they say- no good can come when this card appears. There are 72 cards- a lot of them pretty lovely. I've come to learn there is such a thing as a bad card, a bad omen. In my experience- The Devil is a pretty big one.
I learned that he cheated on me multiple times, was heavily doing drugs when he wasn't with me, and it took until fairly recently to come to terms with the fact he played a lot of head games. All talk. No show. Emotionally manipulative. It has been hard for me to accept that what we experienced wasn't real. I believed the face he gave me, and when the mask fell off- he got ugly. I knew he had a past with drugs, and I showed how proud I was of him and how his past isn't something he should be ashamed of. I had no idea he was lying to me.
So, seeing the Devil today reminded me how none of it was real, and his feelings are not coming from a place of truth, but from some dark place where everything good dies. It was a sign, to me, that he never loved me. He was only using me to fuel is very lead-astray ego. I, like the fool I was- thought I was helping him. That card was trying to show me he was still in a dark place.
I'm posting this because as card readers, we are certainly drawn to philosophy. However I think it wise to not over-intellectualize cards. If it looks bad- it probably is.
