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.

| About to fly off to Bali....
This is only the 2nd time I felt impressed enough to write about a food experience in this photo gallery, it took place at the departure lounge at Changi Airport. As a background, Brek in singapore is the only branch in the famous Italy based Brek chain outside of italy. I wondered why a chain of respected Italy based restaurants would open in Singapore of all places, thus my interest was piqued and it was on this day that I tasted the best pizza ever. As a pizza purist, I ordered the most plain pizza possible, the cheese and tomato so the the real soul of the pizza would not be masked by unecessary toppings. What follows below is a sublime food experience shared between 4 friends, each gobbling down the 2 large slices allotted to them. It was actually difficult to hold the camera steady to focus as the lure of the pizza was tugging on my tastebuds. |
