I am dark and bright; I spring from the earth and I come out of heaven. I am well known and yet a mere nothing. All colours shine in me and all metals by the beams of the sun.
I am the Carbuncle of the Sun.
-Thomas Vaughen, Coelum Terra.

The Devil
As in the Tarot Card.
All
the majors are, for me, neither good nor bad. They are all Good, as in
part of the Law. The Devil is a wonderful friend. He prepares you to
have your illusions of bondage torn away. He makes it possible for you
to feel those chains and to desire to be rid of them. He is the part of
g*d that allows us to alchemize even the most tawdry of experiences.
Like the experience of feeling separate, or fearing the dark, or wanting
to feel good even when we know we are destroying ourselves. The Devil
is what allows us to take those experiences and do something Good with
them. Among other things.
