Welcome to the Memorizing Tarot Cards podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,820
memorizing each card using symbolism.

3
00:00:07,820 --> 00:00:12,160
I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Tarot Card deck or computer.

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,120
Today, we're exploring the Devil Card, focusing on reversals.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,520
Let's start with the Divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,040
The Devil upright represents temptation, bondage, and the shadow aspects of our lives, such

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,680
as addictions, fears, and unhealthy attachments.

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,880
When reversed, the Devil takes on a more liberating energy.

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,840
It suggests that you recognize what's been holding you back and takes steps to free

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,920
yourself from those chains.

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,880
The reversed Devil is a card of empowerment.

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,880
It indicates you're ready to confront your fears, let go of limiting beliefs, and reclaim

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,680
control over your choices and actions.

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,360
So what happens when the Devil reversed appears in a reading?

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,520
The Devil reversed can also point to a fear of fully letting go.

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,480
You may know what needs to change, but feel hesitant about taking the final steps.

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,720
This card encourages you to trust the process and understand that the freedom you seek is

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,200
worthwhile.

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,000
Sometimes, the reversed card may indicate subtle influences still lingering in your life.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Even as you make progress, there may be remnants of old patterns that need attention.

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,280
The Devil reversed invites you to continue the work, knowing that even small steps lead

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
to meaningful transformation.

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,960
So, what is the best way to memorize the Devil card in reverse?

25
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,560
Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it.

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,400
For example, my reversed Devil card moment was choosing to move to contract jobs instead

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,200
of employee roles.

28
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,120
I felt all the fear and uncertainty, but I kept taking those small steps toward my goal

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,920
until I arrived.

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,240
An example was calling business schools to learn how to get on their rosters.

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,800
I wasn't doing that all day long, but that is an example of an action I took instead

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
of sitting in fear and losing time doing research?

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,040
I just started making steps until I started getting jobs.

34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,920
Eventually, I got busy.

35
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,560
That's all for today's Devil card reversed episode.

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,600
