Welcome to the Memorizing Tarot Cards podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and
memorizing each card using symbolism.
I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own
Tarot Card deck or computer.
Today, we're exploring the Devil Card, focusing on reversals.
Let's start with the Divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.
The Devil upright represents temptation, bondage, and the shadow aspects of our lives, such
as addictions, fears, and unhealthy attachments.
When reversed, the Devil takes on a more liberating energy.
It suggests that you recognize what's been holding you back and takes steps to free
yourself from those chains.
The reversed Devil is a card of empowerment.
It indicates you're ready to confront your fears, let go of limiting beliefs, and reclaim
control over your choices and actions.
So what happens when the Devil reversed appears in a reading?
The Devil reversed can also point to a fear of fully letting go.
You may know what needs to change, but feel hesitant about taking the final steps.
This card encourages you to trust the process and understand that the freedom you seek is
worthwhile.
Sometimes, the reversed card may indicate subtle influences still lingering in your life.
Even as you make progress, there may be remnants of old patterns that need attention.
The Devil reversed invites you to continue the work, knowing that even small steps lead
to meaningful transformation.
So, what is the best way to memorize the Devil card in reverse?
Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it.
For example, my reversed Devil card moment was choosing to move to contract jobs instead
of employee roles.
I felt all the fear and uncertainty, but I kept taking those small steps toward my goal
until I arrived.
An example was calling business schools to learn how to get on their rosters.
I wasn't doing that all day long, but that is an example of an action I took instead
of sitting in fear and losing time doing research?
I just started making steps until I started getting jobs.
Eventually, I got busy.
That's all for today's Devil card reversed episode.
Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.
Thanks for listening.
