Major Arcana

# The Devil

Māyā (माया)

Illusion, Delusion

The Devil. Recognize your chains—Māyā, the illusion of bondage, dissolves when seen clearly. You have the power to break free, but first you must notice that you are bound. The chains are loose; you could slip them off. Feel where you have given your power away, what addictions or attachments grip you. Consciousness itself is liberation. Name the devil and it loses power.

## Keywords

Bondage

Materialism

Addiction

Shadow

Self-Remembering

Kundabuffer
