These are both fairly accurate descriptions of my personality, but I might split hairs with their apologia on the Devil… I’ve never thought so-called darker ambitions needed an apology — without darkness, what is light? — but I willingly read a Thoth deck, and that’s probably proof enough I’m not entirely right in the head.
The Magician came up when I chose Mercury as my favorite planet. It is the ruler of Virgo after all, and I do have wings tattooed on my feet. Seems fitting enough, with how mutable I can be. The Magician is probably the card I would choose for myself, and it seems to come up more often than anything else in self-referential positions.
The Devil arrived when I chose Jupiter, which I do love. It’s interesting, Jupiter and I have an on-again/off-again relationship, Jovian luck doesn’t seem to work the way it should for me, but occasionally, oh, occasionally it works oh so well, and I find fortune in spades. I suspect that’s the Magician aspect’s creationism cutting both ways.
You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eloquent and charismatic, 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.
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.
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. 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.
