Where’s My Tarot? The Devil

Let’s play Where’s My Tarot? Devil. Devil. Who’s got the Devil?

The Devil isn’t all about death, destruction, and disease. He’s also about devilish delights. Delights so devilish, in fact, that what starts out as mere temptation can turn quickly into addiction.

What, in your life, do you find perniciously irresistible? If you wish to be set free, the key is to find balance between a healthy no when it comes to those indulgences that may harm you, and a heartfelt yes when it comes to indulgences that will lead you to joy. There is a difference between pleasure and toxic pleasure. Choose pleasure. Always choose pleasure.

Can you find our charming devil hidden amongst the tantalizing temptations on this shelf? If you can, you’re at least halfway to reining in your appetites and ordering that bedeviler to begone!

–M. V.

I am an essayist and poet. My work has been rejected by some of the finest journals in America. Fortunately, it also gets accepted from time to time and has appeared in equally fine journals such as Word Riot, Inlandia, Brew City Magazine, and SageWoman, among others.. In 2002, I won the Academy of American Poets Prize for Vanderbilt University.
 For no good reason, I possess an unnecessarily dark humor which is why being third generation California Inland Empirian delights me so. My gods are weird. I once won $350 for writing a smartassed essay on “why the wise use of water is important in my daily life”. I am undoubtedly the Greek god Hermes’ special snowflake. I’m pretty sure I got into college via a series of fortuitous clerical errors.
 When I had to grow up and get a real job, I decided against it and stayed a writer. I have worked many odd—and I mean odd—jobs to support my habit: PR writer for country music hopefuls, resume massager, WalMart fitting room attendant and switchboard operator, and telephone psychic, just to name a few.
 I am also albino. That's why my psychic gifts are so strong. I traded in my pigment for magical foresight, because that's how it works. It gets all technical. Trust me. That's totally how it works.
