been doing shadow work for a couple months now (nothing intense, just journaling + an evening card pull) and the devil reversed has shown up like four separate times in the last few weeks??
not even exaggerating lol. every time i sit down to look at old patterns or self sabotage stuff, there it is
i get that reversed devil is usually about breaking free, releasing old chains, seeing through illusions you've been stuck in. but does a card ever get almost... repetitive when you're doing this kind of deep work? or is mine actually trying to point at something specific
curious if anyone else has had a card basically camp out in their shadow work pulls like this
In all my years of shadow work (decades now, dear), I've noticed the cards that repeat are rarely being lazy - they're circling because there's a layer underneath the first layer you found.
The Devil reversed showing up again and again usually means you've identified the chain but haven't fully set it down yet. Awareness is the first unbinding, not the last. Keep sitting with it. Ask what you'd have to give up if you were actually free of whatever it's pointing to - sometimes the answer surprises you.
The old ways teach us that repetition in the cards is the universe being patient with us, not impatient.
omg the camping out thing is so real. i had the hanged man do that to me for like three weeks straight during a job transition lol. it does eventually stop once whatever it's pointing at actually shifts
margaret this is really helpful actually. i think i've been treating "noticing" the pattern as the finish line instead of the start lol. gonna sit with the "what would i have to give up" question for a bit
following this bc i want to know too - does anyone else find reversed devil specifically shows up more during shadow work vs like, a general reading? feels like it hits different depending on the context
