Rude TAROT of Magic: Nine of Cups (Patreon)

The seven sins of Christian God!

We’ll start, of course, with Pride:

The sin that tempted Morning Star

who sat at Father’s side.

Here comes Envy, tried and true,

a sin that can’t be beat!

A pair of well off loafers covet

each the other’s seat.

Gluttony (ah gluttony!),

I know you like my hand.

To eat and eat and eat and eat

is oft my weekend plan.

Wrath is quite the sin, you see,

It bursts forth from the righteous

who see their sin a means to ends

thus birth foes in their likeness.

I myself am prone to Sloth

I always make the time

to rest, relax, delay, distract,

and waste away my prime.

Lust indeed is flavorful

It’s Satan’s favorite dish.  

Like Tantalus, passion's reprieve 

evades one's thirsty lips.

One might forgive the Greedy

for we all know some of want.

Yet Greed is Pride and Lust combined,

it's Envy's confidant. 

So there they are! The Seven Sins

of Christian God's acclaim!

On page one of the Book of Damned

you'll find this writer's name!
