"This card recalls an old Zen story, about a lion who was brought up by sheep and who thought he was a sheep until an old lion captured him and took him to a pond, where he showed him his own reflection. Many of us are like this lion-the image we have of ourselves comes not from our own direct experience but from the opinions of others. A 'personality' imposed from the outside replaces the individuality that could have grown from within. We become just another sheep in the herd, unable to move freely, and unconcious of our own true identity."Osho Zen Tarot by Osho
This card is very different from the traditional devil card in the RWS themed decks. Here we see the bondage coming from lack of personal identity; being trapped in a misconception of who one is based on the "conditioning" from society. I like this card, because I can relate. It is a call to liberate Self from a false identity; and be true to your true nature.
