Chimera - Incidental Tarot

In the Incidental tarot the Chimera takes the place of the Devil card. She's beautiful and dangerous and seductive. In a word: TEMPTATION! 

This is a perfect foil for yesterday's owl medicine card. While owl teaches you to be perceptive and cut through the night with the laser vision of truth, Chimera tempts you to allow yourself to be deceived, to enjoy the temporary pleasures of addiction, obsession and compulsion which will ultimately destroy you. 

The chimera is a beautiful women, a fairy with butterfly wings, but she also has destructive talons and can destroy everything with her fire breathing tail. When you see the chimera for all she really is, you would be wise to pull back, even if it hurts, from whatever she represents that you are having a devil of a time letting go of: bad relationship (romantic, business, family, frenemy), destructive behavior, bad decisions, etc.
