The Devil of the Tarot deck is not a theological concept, but an archetypal force, one with which we all are wrestling, to some degree or another, during the early months of 2020. Our physical security and stability certainly is being threatened. However... what action/creativity is this pandemic promoting? Which outworn/dysfunctional situations are we now seeing more clearly?

This is the challenge and the opportunity of the Tarot's Devil card.TarotWorks TarotTip for March2020Jeanne Fiorini2020-03-19 | During the coronavirus pandemic, Jeanne Fiorini/TarotWorks' (http://www.tarotworks.com) posed some questions to the Tarot about the nature of this uninvited stranger who has entered our home...
