Major Arcana McEvoy & Rodriguez surf a new wave of young pop surrealists currently enjoining popularity on the left coast and their solution to a satanic TIKOT! assignment speaks as much of their process as their influences. Simultaneous collaborators, they work in tandem elaborating on each others work upon the same canvas and occasionally changing directions entirely. Here they have given us a devil girl right hand raised in opposition to the left handed benediction of the Hierophant. She is the embodiment of physical attraction, lust, sexuality, animal instincts and vice. Her left hand cradles a fiery serpent coiling to the earth. Her horns attack the heavens and indicate the top of a reverse pentagram, the overturning of order and the triumph of matter over spirit. However, around her neck she wears the keys which may unlock us from our taste for the darkness. The heart key acknowledges the card's connection to The Lovers. Both cards speak to our drives; the drives that take us out of the garden. The Devil, is the adversary but sometimes, our best and only ally for the Devil’s own torch can light our escape from the temptations of the underworld.
