What [tarot card] are you

[The Laughing Man]

• • • 

You are the Hanged Man Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting
for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather
than gain. The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card
in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a
sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree,
wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine
days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen
from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped
them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not
life or death. It signifies; selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You
make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination.
You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

Great! We got the same card, Esmer.

• Great Minds Think Alike
  
  I saw a poet and a wise man
  walking up the street,
  the poet wore his dinner
  and the wise man had bare feet.
  Said the wise man to the poet
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the poet nodded gravely
  and the wise man wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a poor man and a rich man
  walking up the street,
  the poor man was unshaven
  and the rich man was effete.
  Said the rich man to the poor man
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the poor man nodded gravely
  and the rich man wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a Christian and a heathen
  walking up the street,
  the Christian clutched his wallet
  and the heathen hated meat.
  Said the heathen to the Christian
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the Christian nodded gravely
  and the heathen wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a blind man and a lame man
  walking up the street,
  the blind man bumped a lamp post
  and the lame man cursed his feet.
  Said the lame man to the blind man
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the blind man nodded gravely
  and the lame man wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a farmer and a sailor
  walking up the street,
  the farmer looked like lettuce
  and the sailor smelled like peat.
  Said the sailor to the farmer
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the farmer nodded gravely
  and the sailor wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a mother and a daughter
  walking up the street,
  the mother’s gait was soothing
  and the daughter’s lips were sweet.
  Said the daughter to the mother
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the mother nodded gravely
  and the daughter wiped her brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a thinker and a schemer
  walking up the street,
  the thinker was cartoonish
  and the schemer was quite neat.
  Said the schemer to the thinker
  when each had looked my way,
  What further proof is needed?
  I’ve nothing left to say.
  Then the thinker nodded gravely
  and the schemer wiped his brow,
  as if their lives had meaning
  and mine had none at all.
  
  I saw a halfwit and a donkey
  walking up the street,
  the halfwit ate spaghetti
  and the donkey was discreet.
  Said the donkey to the halfwit
  when each had looked my way,
  Much further proof is needed,
  there’s so much more to say.
  Then the halfwit nodded gravely
  and the donkey wiped his brow,
  as if my life had meaning
  instead of none at all.

That was great, Esmer! Thanks.

You are 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.

Paul finally took the quiz. Surprisingly, he got the same card as Warmark, The Fool.

Hey Esmer, in case I decide to use that GMTA poem somewhere, is that your own work?

You are The Sun
Happiness, Content, Joy.
The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.
Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

[O-gon-cho]

I'm the Magician too [borrowed from Syl as follows!]

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.

Hmm...

Perhaps CHAOS and DESTRUCTION are bringing balance to your life, m'liege?

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.
