So now I know who I really am...
My favorite podcaster, the funny and way too bright Joe G just posted a entry called I am the hanged man where he told us that he became the hanged man in a What Tarot Card are You-test. He linked to the test and I took it...
You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
Maybe I have found my true self now. But i like goats and I can live with being "a powerful man who is hard to resist". I will just sit back and wait for that business success and some money. Maybe I will use my unresistible charm once in a while to.

I'm The Moon:
"Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition."
Interesting. I don't drink or smoke or anything like that, and I haven't had a past of mental illness. But I do pride myself on having strange intuition and lots and lots of deja vu (though often it's about really random stuff, like I dream about something in great detail that eventually happens in real life) and on being creative. So at least it's partly right!
Elliot, of course you are the moon! Alex, I love the description of the devil. "not really Satan at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and /or Dionysious." Sweet.
And I am the magician.
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
Peterson: "a salesman"?!
I am the star!
"Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one."
I am at the bottom of.. something. Tired. Broken. Fatigued.
But after spending time with you this weekend I feel somewhat lighter and now being The Star feels good. Today I am a tired, broken Star but I will heal. Eventually.
