Do you believe in excess?
Interestingly, we drew The Devil today. I wasnāt sure how to read it though, in light of everything Iāve learned from Mal. It would seem that the card, generally read as negative and linked to addiction and codependent relationshipsā¦ is wrong? If Satan is not the negative figure I always thought him to be, what does this card mean?
āAre you going to sit there in silence all day? I mean Iām used to you staring off into space for hours on end when youāre āwritingā,ā air quotes are an unfortunate modernism heās picked up, ābut I need answers.ā August waved an icy, ephemeral hand in front of my face and grumbled.
āSorry, I just donāt know how to read this. I guess, no matter how you see the Devil, the card is a warning to examine your life and relationships, and that isnāt inherently bad.ā
āSo I should examine my life and relationships?ā
"You should be careful about anything addictive in your lifeā¦ or any harmful relationships.ā
āHellbunny, what say you?ā August leaned down to the bunny cage and petted the rabbit.
āAugust, weāre not consulting-ā
āThe Devil does not believe in excess, it harms the soul and the Earth,ā the rabbit intoned, his voice was deep and resonant.
āHmmā¦ thanks Hellbunny.ā August vanished. The rabbit laughed and went back to munching hay.
