Card of The Day: The Devil.

Who is not moved by this symbolic card. I feel that that we are all given challenges that we must overcome throughout life. The two naked figures who wear the chains at the Devils feet are there voluntarily. You'll notice the chains are not bound tight. If they choose they can free themselves from him. The Devil represents our worldly gluttonous desires. Money, food, drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex, and many other worldly pleasures, that taken to extreme, bind us to him. We allow ourselves to be blinded by our desires. We use ignorance as a shield to prevent us from leaving his sanctum. I do not know of any person who does not battle against inner desires on a daily basis. Horns have growing out of my refridgorator for years, and I can almost see a Devils tale dangling form a bacon cheese burger. But life is not rewarding without the Devil to test us. The feeling I get from passing over a donut or french fries if fantastic. I will also admit that I have spent a long time in the Devils lair not able to bring myself to remove the chains. Do not fear the Devil, he is you. When you gain control over yourself, you conquer him!
