The Devil
Il Diavolo
Baphomet sits atop a pedestal, with a man and woman chained loosely at its base. The chains are loose enough to remove — their bondage is self-imposed.
Baphomet siede in cima a un piedistallo, con un uomo e una donna incatenati alla base. Le catene sono abbastanza allentate da poter essere tolte.
Upright Meaning
The Devil represents the shadow side — attachments, addictions, materialism, and the chains we place on ourselves. It asks: what are you enslaved to?
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, it indicates breaking free from bondage, releasing unhealthy attachments, or the first step toward liberation from self-imposed limitations.
Jungian Archetype
The Shadow — the repressed aspects of the personality that, when confronted, become a source of power rather than weakness.
