Demon of the week: Devil

Most people hear the word demon and their minds shift to the devil. They are related, in my opinion at least, as much as the majority of the world believes, but they do not consume the Demonic topic. So today, I’m going to give you a bit of information about the Devil and it relationship to the Tarot card.

The Devil is the fifteenth Major Arcanum card, usually depicting the image of a convention devil with horns and hooves. It was assigned Arcanum to the Hebrew letter Ayin by the Golden Dawn system. The French system gives it to the Samekh.  What interest me the most is that in the magical tide it is called the Lord of the Gates of Matter, Child of the Forces of Time.


All these facts came from the The New Encyclopedia of the Occult by John Michael Greer
