World – Eight of Cups – Devil

 

 

Vulnerabilities. We all have them. We all arm ourselves against the pitfalls, against our favorite sins and slip-ups. There’s the enemy within and the enemy without – whatever sets us off or triggers wanting something we don’t want to want. Today we look at moments our wall of defense is about to be breached, and the ways we counter the impending breach. Our guard goes up to keep us out of the red zone. We detach and we abort course. That is today’s story anyway.

Synopsis

 

Nothing ruffles her feathers; she doesn’t get attached. For the rest of us, we don’t let the hurt get to us: We just don’t go there. But all of a sudden, I drop my guard and I’m in a funk. Drop out, shut it out, it’s bad for you, or be the immovable object that repels the force. It seems the only way to be invulnerable is to never get on that wagon we might fall off of – to never attach in the first place.

World

You see a shapely woman dancing with wands (which symbolize power and connection to ‘out there’), nude, a thick wreath around her which is a circle of protection, a barrier. World has a very broad spectrum via this impenetrable-barrier concept. Examples of these meanings are: World is a superior person or VIP who is unreachable, a person ‘you can’t get through to’ for whatever reason, the good-looking gal who isn’t interested in a fellow, an eccentric in a world of his own, birth control, an area that is protected from assault or from contamination, shut out, bodyguards, hermetic seal against air or germs, a seal against intrusion of water such as a sea wall, even a pipe that contains water securely. As a dancer, World is a performer too. World means protection, obviously.

World illustrates the fact that if you can handle a threat, that situation is not going to confront you – that trouble avoids people who are ready for it. Deterrence, in a word. Bullies are cowards, whether they have bodies or not, and bullies are expert at spotting someone who wouldn’t mind tussling with them.

 

Eight of Cups

He is going out of his way, detouring around the river and hills that are in the way on his foot journey. The full and sliver moons indicate beginning and ending, which reiterates the theme of ‘over with before it begins’ and disruption. Our pilgrim is expected to get back on course after this detour. Eight of Cups is aborting course in some way – even running off the road, or getting lost, or vanishing. Eight of Cups is AWOL, dropping out, unfinished, abandoning, quitting, walking out, change, not getting around to it, not going through with it, not anymore, an exception, short-lived … and such things as that.

 

 

 

 

Devil

Rider Waite’s Devil is the devil of black magic, the evil horned one of Roman Catholic myth. The Marseilles deck is more the Norse god of mischief, Loki. Core meanings for this Tarot card are wrong use of force and bondage. This is such a general card that it does not set a theme; it supports one. It covers the spectrum of any bad or undesirable thing – any degree of them. It can mean hate or it can mean being out of sorts or grumpy. It can mean rude, and it can mean brutal. It means some neutral things like obligation, physically attached, physical, sex, ugly, dirty, and a bond of any kind.

 

 

 

 

The cards make a movie of today’s action. There’s World with the wall of defense up that prevents those bad influences from even seeing her, much less intruding. Eight of Cups is going out of its way to avoid World. Devil identifies the bad influence, the mistake, the obstacle, the addiction, the mischief or evil. World is you being invulnerable by way of blocking undesirable influences. And the combination of Eight of Cups and Devil is, well, avoiding the undesirable influences. So your wall of defense sends the bad stuff away. That’s our story today.

World    It’s really true. In real time, you think of the perfect squelch to a recurring situation: ‘The next time someone stops in front of me instead of in the left turn lane, I shall occupy that lane and give them that dumb look.’ And you never get to do that. What used to happen several times a week never happens again. Why? – because, as World depicts here, when you are expert at handling the monster, the monster ain’t interested in you anymore – trouble avoids you.

The barrier concept applies across the board to unrelated subjects, making phrases you wouldn’t expect. Some of these are: the VIP, or the good looking gal isn’t interested and isn’t going to respond; unreachable or unavailable, block or shut out, don’t have to deal with, a superior person or expert, defenses, immovable object, privacy, in a world of your own, repel, deflect, don’t let it get to you, prevent, prevent problems, immune system. Rarely, World is a filter, a physical barrier like a sea wall, and anything that prevents contamination.

World is also the ideal woman, the trophy woman, the gorgeous or shapely woman . There are times when World describes keeping someone out of the loop, preventing contact or preventing someone from learning something.

Eight of Cups     ‘Abrogate,’ ‘detour,’ and ‘abort’ are accurate words for Eight of Cups. Common words for this picture of a person going out of his way on a pilgrimage because the mountain and river are in the way are: outta here, depart, not anymore, disrupted, detour, drop out, quit, derailed, disappear or vanish. Eight of Cups brings up some miscellaneous ones too, like: boycott, fell off the wagon, short-lived, isn’t the way, ran off the road. There’s a built-in assumption the pilgrim will resume course (by going around the mountain).

Devil in Rider Waite is Mr. Horns-and-Batwings from Christian medieval imagination. (Personally, I think something that tempts us looks good and speaks well.) In the Marseilles deck, the illustration is more like the mischievous Loki from Viking myth. Devil’s illustration makes the point that vices, attachment to evil, are voluntary bondage on the part of humans. Those loose chains say that. There’s the idea of misuse of energy or force (the upside-down torch).

In application in Tarot spreads, Devil often translates ‘mistake’ and ‘wrong.’ Devil is ‘bad guy’ too. Name something bad, and Devil can probably represent it: rude, dark side, force, forced or no choice, brutality, addiction, lust, sickness, disability, disreputable, bad times, problems – all sorts of bad stuff. It can say a person is cranky, nasty, or in a terrible funk, as well as evil.

But Devil can also indicate ‘physical’ and ‘sex act,’ ‘ugly,’ ‘dirty,’ and physical attachment like being paper-clipped together, and difficulties and obstacles. Growing out of its bondage meanings (those chains again), Devil fairly often means obligation or obligated, obliged.

World and Eight of Cups    See how Eight of Cups is changing his course because World is a barrier? That is a main way these two Tarot cards relate to one another.

World and Devil    See how world shuts out the bad influences, and Devil is a bad influence? That is the main way these two Tarot cards relate to one another.

Eight of Cups and Devil      When you’re going the wrong way, you turn off the road and go another way. That is the main way these two Tarot cards relate to one another. Quit because it’s too difficult, and walk away from something ugly, nasty, or brutish are some other examples.
