Devil

The devil (from Greek: διάβολος or diábolos = slanderer or accuser) is believed in many religions, myths and cultures to be a supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the archenemy of God and humankind. The nature of the role varies greatly, ranging from being an effective opposite force to the creator god, locked in an eons long struggle for human souls on what may seem even terms (to the point of dualistic ditheism/bitheism), to being a comical figure of fun or an abstract aspect of the individual human condition.

While mainstream Judaism contains no overt concept of a devil, Christianity and Islam have variously regarded the devil as a rebellious fallen angel or jinn that tempts humans to sin, if not committing evil deeds himself. In these religions – particularly during periods of division or external threat – the devil has assumed more of a dualistic status commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. As such, the devil is seen as an allegory that represents a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment.

The Devil (Tarot card)

The Devil (XV) is the fifteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.

Symbolism

In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Devil is derived in part from Eliphas Levi's famous illustration "Baphomet" in his Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (1855). In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Devil has harpy feet, ram horns, bat wings, a reversed pentagram on the forehead, a raised right hand and lowered left hand with a torch. He squats on a square pedestal with two naked human demons—one male, one female, with tails who are chained to it. Baphomet has bird wings, goat horns, a raised right hand, lowered left hand, breasts and a torch on his head and also combines human and animal features. Many modern Tarot decks portray the Devil as a satyr-like creature. According to Waite, the Devil is standing on an altar.

In pre-Eliphas Levi Tarot decks like the Tarot of Marseille, the devil is portrayed with breasts, a face on the belly, eyes on the knees, lion feet and male genitalia. He also has bat-like wings, antlers, a raised right hand, a lowered left hand and a staff. Two creatures with antlers, hooves and tails are bound to his round pedestal.

The Devil (play)

Iblis (Azerbaijani: İblis / ابلیس) is a verse play (verse dram), tragedy in four acts of an Azerbaijani poet and playwright Huseyn Javid, written in 1918. Ideological credo of Javid is revealed in the play, a mysthic flaw is strongly expressed and the poet’s thoughts about a problem of human’s happiness followed by the imperialistic war are reflected in the poem.

Initially the tragedy was staged in 1920, by Abbas Mirza Sharifzadeh. It’s noted that, at the beginning of 1920’s the play had a great success. “Iblis” is considered as the first verse play of Azerbaijan, which was put on the stage. It is also noted that the play is significant not only for its complex philosophic character, and also for a romantic style.

The play was published in 1924, for the first time. Later, it was published in 1927, 1959, 1969, 1982, 2001 and 2005. In the Small Soviet Encyclopedia of 1931, the work was called a poem. It is considered one of the best plays of Huseyn Javid.

    The I

    by: KRS-One

    Where shall we land, there?
    Which city shall we destroy today?
    This one, or that one? This one?
    [KRS-One]
    Take a look a look around, we last forever
    We carry books around, manuals are bound in leather
    We rock the center, the only point that's in the circle
    We free MC's, what we decree will not desert you
    We know what we doin, we wise and we chillin
    We calculate against the continued cries of our children
    They may be cryin now but they won't be cryin later
    We love hip-hop, because WE are it's creators
    So we, build the Temple, write the books, teach the classes
    Create instrumentals, write hooks and rock masses
    NONE passes, without studyin this flow
    It's all good as long as you know Kris know!
    [Chorus: Mad Lion]
    While I deal with I, Jah talk to I
    When I dem go alike, only de one comply
    Whatchu see with de I, look twice toward de I
    If you don't unify your children them a gon' cry
    [KRS-One]
    I stand with the rejected, the unsuspected, the unconnected
    The neglected the one you, never suspected
    It seems you forget hip-hop plays the back
    Sayin that's my sound, and that's my sound
    And that's my track, and that's my rap
    And that's some chorus they did way back, look honey bringin it back
    I'm actually, I'm everywhere at every time
    Animating every rhyme and every dare in every mind
    KRS is my representative on Earth
    Challenge him not, he's been hip-hop since birth
    His main objective, is to put hip-hop in perspective
    Show pity, and DESTROY these wack cities
    [Chorus]
    [Mad Lion]
    Inna style dem a {?}, yo alla dem a cry
    Dey worship slackness and to be under sky
    We lead dem to de water but we cyan't make dem drink
    Pussy to take a sip, cause it gon' make you t'ink
    We don't usually {?} shit {?}, yo alla dem a sing
    Wisdom wort more den any diamond and gold
    People use it and find it like de Dead Sea Scrolls
    [KRS] Take dem Lion, take 'em, take it over!
    [Mad Lion]
    Cause of dem outer, dem outer, dem outer inter outer inter
    Outer inter outer inter out of control
    Dey neva find wisdom til dem dead ohhh
    Mad Lion make de {?} roll
    KRS make up a sea and bulge ya
    Of the story of never been told-a
    Cause we outer, outer, inter outer outer ese
    Out of control, out of control
    I'm so serious ay (what?)
    We don have no time fi play, ay (tell 'em again)
    Some people diss dem {?} hell's in this world
    But dey'll come around one day
    [KRS-One]
    Yo, yo, only Beezlebub think my voice is aggravatin
    Children of light hear my voice and start congregatin
    The mind's debatin, is he a prophet or is he Satan?
    But the tree is only known by it's fruit, what am I creating?
    What am I stating? Have I stood the test of time?
    Or am I fading, or has God blessed my rhyme?
    Settle your dissin, you better be listenin, forever we glisten
