The December Devil. Using Dice with Tarot

The Devil is not some evil outside of ourselves, he’s a reflection of the untamed mind left to its own devices.
⠀
Those unfamiliar with Tarot can get triggered by the Devil card in the pack when he rears his monstrous head in a reading. He seems scary and perhaps for good reason since his archetype is a representation of the dark corners of ourselves that we hide. More about this tarot reading using dice:

I first rolled a 12-sided die to determine how many cards to draw. One card!

​This is such an interesting card to pull on this cold December evening as the nights grow longer into the holy-days. The Devil seems to signal a warning that the shadow that lurks in the dark may grow as the nights grow.
⠀
Drawing the Devil card also brings to mind the mythology of Krampus, the December Devil. Come to think of it, the December Devil isn’t just Krampus, it’s Scrooge and the Grinch too! The devils in these stories teach us lessons around materialism, the ego, and shadow.
⠀
The Devil card asks us to light a torch and face the darkest truths about ourselves. We have the power to liberate ourselves when we do.

Peaceful blessings as we deepen into these long nights toward Solstice. ✨🔥💫
