What Tarot Card are You?

I am... The Devil!  Yikes!  
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.

Man, who is supposed to be upside down to begin with, telling of his
secret hopes and fears..." (GR, Pt. IV, p.738)
