I aborted the dd as soon as I became aware of my moment of crass stupidity and I can still see part of the directory structure, with quite a few file names in there showing proper file sizes, but these seem to be empty of data. I still have "/dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-c1a534b4-d1ba-40d0-adb8-6d2490f06ade-uid9330 on /media/Seagate_1.5 type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)", and obviously I have the pass phrase.
