Probably Seeker

 

[monta]

Sage​

Sages find freedom through understanding the big picture (global or cosmic) and a capacity for detachment. At the lowest level, the Sage may have little interest in the ordinary, mundane pleasures of life. At the highest level, however, the Sage combines detachment with love, wisdom, and joy in life.

 

[Quagmire]

Creator​

When the Creator is active within a person, that person is discovering or creating a more adequate sense of Self. At best, this new identity leads to a more fulfilling and effective life. At worst, it is simply an experiment, and the person retreats or goes back to the drawing board to start over.

 

[Satans_Serrated_Edge]

Warrior​

The Warrior defeats the villain and rescues the victim. Warriors are courageous and disciplined, imposing high standards on themselves. At worst, they run roughshod over others. At best, they assert themselves appropriately to make the world a better place.

 

[Troublemane]

Caregiver​

Caregivers take care of others even when doing so requires sacrifice. They give to make the world a better place for others. At worst, the Caregiver's sacrifice is maiming or manipulative. At best, the Caregiver's giving is compassionate, genuine, and of great help to others.

 

[Vasilisa Jade]

Go figure......

Fool​

The Fool finds freedom through unconventionality and a capacity to enjoy every moment. The Fool lightens us up, finds clever, innovative, and fun ways around obstacles--intellectual or physical. At worst, Fools are irresponsible. At best, Fools live lives of joy because they live fully every moment.


I dunno how I feel about that.


Wait wait! I have this strange compulsion....



I must put on a funny hat and laugh hysterically.


This is my destiny.




:jester3:



Joy.

I'm going to go be depressed now....

[Adramelek]

Warrior
Which is appropriate for me as a Knight of the Prince of Darkness, and Guardian of the Black Flame.​

Though I see myself more as a Creator, being a musician and composer for the piano (classically trained) and guitar (self-taught).​

Hail, Set!

Ruler​

The Ruler in each of us understands that we are responsible for our inner and outer lives; the buck stops here. At worst, the Ruler is a despot. At best, the Ruler's order is inclusive, creating inner wholeness and outer community.

This surprised me because I figured I was more the Creator type (I'm really, really artsy-fartsy and paint, draw, play the piano, and enjoy arts and literature).

However, I can see some truth in this. Though I do not seek out positions of leadership (mainly because I've been there, done that and am frankly tired of all that responsibility!), people constantly, CONSTANTLY try to make me the boss of something - whether it's Toastmaster President, or a management position, or head of some neighborhood committee...augh, it's tiresome sometimes!

My joke, all my life has been this: That I am merrily skipping through life, thoroughly enjoying myself, when suddenly I stop, look behind me, and see that there are thirty people following me - and the shocking thing is that they ACTUALLY THINK I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING!

My husband says that even though I never have any idea where I parked my car when I come out of the grocery store - I always march out that door looking like I know exactly where that car is.

I don't know how to change that about myself but unsought leadership can seriously be a burden sometimes.

 

[Baydwin]

Destroyer​

When the Destroyer is active within a person, what we see are the effects of tragedy and loss. At best, this initiatory loss leads to a greater receptivity to new ideas, empathy and compassion for others, and a deeper knowledge of their own identity and strength. At worst, it simply decimates a personality, and we see before us simply a ruin of what was.


Eep...
