Devil Card in the Tarot deck,has a special meaning for christian Cathars.

When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, two gatekeepers were placed at the Eastern Gate who’s role was to regulate access to the Tree of Life. To pass the two tests one had to know what the criteria of the tests included. When Catholic Christianity introduced the idea of a ‘saviour’ the need for the two gate keepers became redundant. The result being, the understanding of the true nature of the gatekeepers was lost. But, what if the saviour was an exemplar and not a saviour?!
It turns out that the mystery of the gatekeepers did survive. In his groundbreaking research revealed in his book The Spiritual Roots of the Tarot, The Cathar Code Hidden in the Cards, Russell Sturgess resurrects this forgotten sacred knowledge. In this presentation, Russell will reveal the role of the Flaming Sword as depicted in the Devil Card of the Marseille Tarot. Failing this test is why people who have spent years becoming spiritually awakened still suffer. Sustainable serenity, unconditional love and fulfilment is illusive.
