Self-Knowledge – Spirit of the Warlock

Authority

You are good at making decisions; you have a clear sense of what
needs to be done and what others should be doing. Played out inside
yourself, this tendency drives you to value willpower and self-control.
You may be accused of bossiness. But acting on your desire to dissuade,
restrain or guide is often appreciated by others – who might secretly
like a clear direction, and some firmness.

Orderliness

You love it when everything is neat and tidy: when there is a proper
way of doing things, and you can tick things off the to-do list and know
where everything is. So others, at times, are to you unbearably sloppy
and messy. And you run into things that can’t be ordered (a child, a
partner, a colleague at work) which drives you slightly nuts. But your
desire for order is a good one when it is focused where it is needed
and when you’re okay with a bit of mess.

Misanthropy

You have seen the darker side of human nature, even in daily life.
When you look beneath the surface everyone is pretty messed up; there’s
more selfishness circulating that others admit. You are never surprised
by the stupidity of others, even though it annoys you. Your streak of
misanthropy is, in fact, a requirement of remaining sane. You’ve wisely
come to terms with your need to sometimes confidently reject people.

Loyalty

You are good at sticking with people, even when things get awkward
and tricky. You give people a second and third chance, because
fundamentally, you are good at recognising people’s good sides (even
when there’s quite a lot about them that is not so attractive).
Partisanship is actually your strength: you stay on someone’s side for
more than intellectual reasons – because they feel like a part of who
you are.

Reverence

One part of you dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a
while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances you can flourish
by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a
willing submission to your own conscience. In the outside world, you
might get frustrated searching for something worth believing in – a
country, a person, a company – but you will always be open to feeling
respect, admiration and wonder.

Independence

You don’t set out to be different for its own sake; you are more
easily guided by what interests and moves you. You are more concerned
about what is right for you than about the pressure to fit in. In sex
you are more aware than others of impulses which are not entirely
conventional. You know the value of selective irresponsibility, of
forgetting occasionally about being ‘good’.
