The Devil card shows Baphomet, who represents the balance between good and evil, male and female, and human and animal. The Devil has the wings of a vampire bat, an animal that sucks the lifeblood out of its prey, symbolic of what happens when you give in to your raw desires. He has a hypnotic stare which ‘magnetises’ and entrances those who come near him, bringing them under his power. On his neck is an inverted pentagram – a sign of the darker side of magic and occultism.
