Spock and The Devil

I previously posted part of this in another group but had a new thought on it today and wanted to share it here.

On the Devil card, I noticed his hand like this 🖖🏻 So now, all I can think of with this card is “Live long and prosper”

Today, I recalled that Leonard Nimoy had gotten that hand gesture from a service he had seen at an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue as a child. According to Google’s AI overview, this hand gesture is the Priestly Blessing (or Birkat Kohanim in Hebrew) performed by Kohanim (descendants of Temple priests) during Jewish worship.

So, is the devil giving a priestly blessing here? What do you think?
