The Devil Tarot Card Number 15 of the Major Arcana

The horned goat has the wings of a bat and appears to perch on an altar. At the pit of the stomach there is the sign of Mercury. The right hand is upraised and extended, being the reverse of the benediction which is given by the Hierophant in the fifth card. In the left hand there is a great flaming torch, inverted towards the earth. A reversed pentagram is on the forehead. There is a ring in front of the altar, from which two chains are carried to the necks of two figures, male and female. These are analogous with the figures of the fifth card, as in Adam and Eve after the fall. The figures are tailed, to signify the animal nature, but there is human intelligence in the faces, and the devil will not be their master for ever. Even now, he is also a bondsman, sustained by the evil that is in him and blind to the liberty of service.

The Devil card represents violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, and fatality. It is a card for what is predestined but it is not for this reason evil.
