The Devil
Upright
Chains worn loosely enough to slip. Attachment, shadow, the comfort in what binds.
attachment · shadow · the comfort in what binds
Reversed
Loosening the chain; awareness of the hold; release beginning.

In the Celtic Cross
Where The Devil falls changes what it says. In the present it names the atmosphere you are in; as the crossing card it shows what lies over the matter; at the foundation it is the root of the situation; in the outcome it is the road ahead if nothing changes. Read the ten positions, or lay a spread and see where it appears.
