General

Mephistopheles is tempting you, and He has given you an idea. He stood in front of a fire-breathing well, holding a black rose in his hand—those things that nature can't create, and He can create it with magic—he can create whatever is impossible, satisfying any of your desires. It is also a piece of cake. But you also have to see that the shadow of the flame is a cold purple - this is a cold fire that cannot warm the soul.

Remarks

Mephistopheles: It is a demon god, the name of the devil in Goethe's Faust. In Goethe's work, Faust must mortgage his soul in the hands of the devil Mephistopheles, as long as the cessation of the pursuit of life means the coming of death.

A. Problem

This applies to the first card in your deck, which is the core of this card, describes the background of your problem and represents the source of your problem.

You believe in a wrong idea / temptation / idea, you are fighting for this wrong idea, hoping to get "better" things by doing so. You are sacrificing a very vital part of you - the soul. The reality is that you are controlled by the dark world and become the food of the devil.

B. Way

In your deck, remove the first and last cards, and the rest of the cards need to use the text in this section (way). Here are some things you need to do on the way forward.

You can get up again in the light when you lowered the bottom of the underworld when you passed it. Here you can not get better or better. (Do not you want to make one of your favorite seductions!) Only the word of Vergilius can help: "Look and go on!"

备注

Virgil: The greatest and most outstanding poet of the ancient Augustus era (AD 19), he was one of the few ancient writers who were not rejected by the Christian church in the Middle Ages. Dante respects him very much and thinks that he is the most intelligent and understands human beings. He is used as a guide to hell and purgatory in Divine Comedy.

Virgil's epic has been highly praised by future generations and has become a model of later epics, which has had a profound influence on later European literature.

C. Outcome

Interpretation of the last card in your deck requires the use of text in this section (outcome). This card explains the final result of the theme (also your question) that your card represents. It's important to note that you must be clear about your thoughts before any explanation of the card combination becomes effective.

You are going through transformation. The old pictures must shed the way the Golden Calf falls on Moses' plagues. Finally, the false ideas (which in fact never existed) spread as fog in the sun.

Remarks

Allusion: Moses destroyed the Golden Jubilee - the most meaningful moment in Moses' life was the Ten Commandments that Moses received God's gift from Mount Sinai. When he walked down the mountain, he discovered that his people were dancing around the self-cast gold plaque. Qing, he was furious, and threw the Ten Commandments on the ground, and then destroyed the golden dragonfly.

Freud believes that the conflict between Moses is the conflict between "I" and "Super". The "I" symbolizes the impulse to avenge, and it forces Moses' "self" to take action and teach those who have no faith; "Super-I" symbolizes the "Ten Commandments", which ordered Moses to stand still and accept the facts. After the "self" experienced painful struggle, "super-ego" defeated the "self", and the "happy principle" pursued by "the self" was finally replaced by the "reality principle"; the instinct contained in "the self" could not be obtained. Directly satisfied, so replace it by changing direction and transferring, thus avoiding setbacks. This is sublimation.

HOW TO READ CARDS CORRECTLY

Each Card's interpretation text is divided into three parts: A - problem), B - way), and C - outcome. However, when interpreting the card, be careful not to consider all three parts of each card at the same time. This will cause your understanding of the meaning of the card. Become confused. You need to decide which part of the text to read based on the position of each card.

Correct reading logic for the three parts A, B and C

If the card is the first card of the card, then read Part A.
If the card is the last card of the card, then read Part C.
None of the above, then read Part B.

Dialectical relationship between the three parts A, B and C

Below, a metaphor for the progressive relationship between the three parts of the same card, A, B, C (note, not in the demonstration of the interpretation of the card, but in the three parts of the ABC for a card) Dialectical relationship is a metaphor).

Suppose that part A of a card presents you with a goal - suggesting that you climb a challenge to climb Everest to expand your memory.

Part B of this card is responsible for telling you what you need to do.

For example, what equipment do you need to buy, and what kind of transportation (train or plane) to travel to Lhasa. Once you arrive in the area, you will need to go to Everest Base Camp to hire a guide to fill your oxygen bottle and you can start climbing.

Then, Part C predicts which memories you will gain in this challenging journey, which will become part of your life.

Of course, C may also predict that your journey may be blizzard and you have to return halfway through. The result of not achieving the goal will be part of the meaning of the journey.

So, if you skipped Parts A and B from the beginning, you read directly to Part C: "You will not reach your goal." Then you look at this sentence and come to a conclusion - this journey will be futile - why bother yourself? So you gave up the proposal in Part A and chose to continue sitting on the sofa at home.

Ok, if you really want to do this, then you lose the value of Deka, and Deka can't help you. Be aware that the process is the treasure of our memory. If you care about the outcome for everything and don't care about the process, then you can only leave a memory in your life - "failure."

You will be the one who only likes to read books on the shore to teach how to swim but never immerse his delicate toes in the water - such people can never learn to swim.
