El Cazador Trofeo de los Hombres

About Me

I am on the path to being a better, nicer, calmer person. It's a nice road. The view is great. But it's so damned long. My "job" is that of photographer, but as that has become a glorified hobby which just costs me money, I have a day job which is far too pedantic and boring to even mention here.
Life is too short to be with boring people and do pedantic things. Take risks, meet new people, open your mind and your heart to the world! Spiritually I've been on a personal path for a while, and I've never been happier. It's hard to put a label on it, but the closest I can come is "Independent White Witch Practitioner".
I believe in many psychic aspects of the world. I have been working on lucid dreaming, and have had some success taking short trips.
I also have been working on enhancing what I believe to be a heightened empathic ability I have. With mixed results.
On a more stupid and practical note, I spent way too much time in clubs in New York in the 80's, and blew out my hearing. So if you meet me in a semi-noisy environment, speak up, I cannot hear you.
Photographs ... feel free to cross-post my photographs, but please respect that they are my photographs, and note they were taken by either "Ch¡cagoDom" (note the "i" is not an "i") or "Chicago Snaps Photography". Thanks!

Nothing can take the place of persistence ... except maybe money ... and the ability to manipulate the will of others.
And somehow this makes sense ...

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.
