It is interesting that T.XV, the Devil (or Horned God(dess?) or Celtic Priest(ess?)), an unprepossessing figure, marks the beginning of the Inner 'Circle' on the Mantelpiece* scheme (One of the characteristics of this system, as of Nature, is the overlap of functions and the multiplicity of possible correct interpretations). The more I look at it (which I don't do very often) the more it looks as though this figure {(T.XV)} is about to cut the rope which binds the two, male and female, to the plinth or anvil on which he stands – the World, the Flesh, and the Devil?**
