What does the Tarot card The Devil

"I am God, I'm a beast," said one of the great poets. What does all of the archetypes of a large Arkan, the fifteenth, the most consistent state, which generates this statement. Frantic goats Sabbath and the universal tree, the lingam, the axis of the world, the phallus piercing the earth and sky. "Capricorn is tough, harsh, dark, even blind, does not take into account any reason, customs and rules." "Pure will not striving for results, and therefore invincible." Goat Sabbath, Saturn, Set, Satan, Shaitan, represent this violent and frightening energy of creation. Arch at the Fifteenth corresponds What does the archetype of the Saturnalia. Saturnalia was celebrated at the end of the year, and astrologically consistent with the transition from Sagittarius to Capricorn. The idea of the Saturnalia, which in our time, few people can understand, dates back to What is an archetypal representation of that at the end of each cycle, the world is dying to be born anew. But the new birth - the second part of What is an archetype, which can not be actualized without experiencing death, destruction and the relentless collapse of the world.

What does the archetype of the Saturnalia is what stands the archetype of the feast during the plague when on the eve of an inevitable death, released the darkest and most violent passion, that a last-minute cycle to get their implementation. This view is very stable, because beliefs of many people point out that the last three days of the year are the most dangerous. That is why during the orgies of Saturnalia, abolished the difference between master and slave, patrician and plebeian, and all turned into one frantic chaotic tangle of passions. I want to particularly pay attention to the deep basis of Saturnalia, which by its idea is directly opposed to Dionysian acts, although superficially very similar to them. At the core of Dionysian madness lies rush of life, whereas the Saturnian madness, the madness of intoxication death, but both find their realization through an orgy, as an act of transgression.

What does the archetype of the fifteenth Arkan, the most frequently activated in puberty. This state of disobedience, rebellion blind denial and charm of the idea of death (as we know from the statistics of psychologists, the greatest number of suicides occurs in adolescence). However, only a few, are able to translate this blind phase of the revolt in the complete destruction of the (tower), then to enter into the twentieth Arkan eon. Most of the same as they grow up will inevitably recede back, it's a copy of their parents, and anyone, the most thoughtful teaching, can not change this sad state of affairs.

Thus, the Saturnalia Devil - it's a chance for liberation, a chance which might lead to a complete self-destruction, or to the subsequent degeneration of a new cycle. I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that the musical and literary culture of the second half of the twentieth century, mainly the job What does this archetype. The basic idea - the confrontation of the hero single, worldwide, with the actions of the hero himself is largely focused on self-destruction. This ideal of a good thug - from Bonnie and Clyde to Mick and Mallory, the Outsider and Albert Camus, Eater cries of hate going to the penalty, this is a huge amount bitnicheskih novels glorifying the last feast before his death.

In a musical culture, we can consider the ideas expressed in the texts of 95 percent hard rock groups to easily identify them all the same fifteenth Arkan. What is meant by this mythological archetype corresponds to the struggling and dying a hero - from Hippolytus to Prometheus. What does the archetypal relationship of sensuality and death, already considered in the context of the thirteenth Arcana, as close and the Devil. However refraction of the ideas in these two archetypes What is meant by a few different things, and feel the difference may well help the meditation on the respective cards. We can say that in the thirteenth Arkan e dark eroticism, is more powerful, more secret, and a step toward death should be a conscious volitional decision, which is evident in the articles cited in the corresponding lecture dreams. While the relationship of eros and death in the fifteenth Arkan e Extraverted more and more public, and an example of a priest in a frenzy of running out into the square and emasculate themselves with huge amounts of people, can serve as an extreme manifestation of this is that the archetype represents.

With the devil I have linked a number of interesting episodes that I want to bring here. My first touch of the Tarot, happened about 16 years, and at the first card pulling me to my joy dropped the Devil. However, the person who provided me with the Tarot, understand it is not much better than I, and all I was told this belief, that I now have a powerful lust (that's just one of many possible interpretations). When the three years I began to work on the psychological group, the devil, contrary to any theory of probability dropped me thrice. True, even the interviewer did not possess sufficient understanding of the rebellious character and interpret it as a conditionality of maya (though this interpretation can also occur when the individual is sufficiently weak will). After that, a long time I identified the Devil, in the Jungian context, as what represents the archetype associated with the study of shadows, which is reflected in my first, more student work on the Tarot. At this point I refer to work with shadow quickly to the last of Arkan - the universe. And just recently I started to understand the full palette associated with it What is an archetype.
