From the Badgers' Forest Tarot, the Devil; from the Gemstone Oracle, Lepidolite:
Early Christians imagined the Devil as a goat-like human in order to bring shame to those who worshiped Pan, Greek god of the wild, who delighted in taking naps, chasing nymphs and playing music. In the eyes of Christianity, enjoying such pleasure on a daily basis was sinful. Yet there is a line we can cross over when we attempt to avoid reality (and responsibilities) by drowning our worries in the pleasure of our choice. While dancing and merry-making can release pent-up stress, Lepidolite ('calmness of mind') suggests that finding healthy ways to relax can be just as helpful. As Ray Bradbury put it, "Life should be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it."
