56. The Devil: Transformative Liberation

Happy Solstice/Yule, Wild Souls! Today on the podcast, Lindsay dives deep into the profound medicine of The Devil card, exploring it through a soul centered lens. The Devil is a transformative liberation, a holy ladder, one that has the power and the potential to positively shift our relationship with ourselves, our desires and our brain chemistry forever, if we are available to the blessings that it brings. On this episode, we explore an evolved way of viewing this card, and discuss ways in which to work with it if we are triggered, contracted, or confused. The Devil is truly one of the great keys of the Tarot — together, we will dispel any fear based myths around this beautiful card, opening listeners to the possibility of a fresh relationship with its medicine.
