You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

(WYRM / ALLAN ZANE)---
WYRM is the current project of Allan Zane. WYRM arose from the ashes of the now-defunct project Arcanum. Arcanum’s only outputs were a private-edition cassette and CD-R. The moniker WYRM was decided upon when Allan Zane discovered that there were at least two other projects out there named Arcanum—however, this did little in regards to the style of the music… Using whatever technology is at hand at any given moment, WYRM constructs aural amalgamations of genres now often referred to as “dark ambient” and experimental “electronica”. Often the end results are as equally repulsive as they are intriguing. Expressed through music, WYRM’s fascination lies with the shadow aspects of human existence—yet constitutes virtue, consciousness-expansion, and illumination. The first incarnation of WYRM was a live performance at the Mercury-Free Retrograde 9/23/00 event at Vincent’s Ear in Asheville, NC. Some other acts performing that night were Sword Volcano Complex featuring Karl Blake (with whom Allan Zane also collaborates), 11:11, and Sinister Senile. Despite some technical difficulties, WYRM’s partially improvised performance was surprisingly well received and later released as three separate private-edition CD-R’s on their own DIS’S pFIFA label. Since this first incarnation, the WYRM line-up has evolved. The current members are Allan Zane and Liz Lang. Future WYRM releases include collaborations with Rapoon and Nocturnal Emissions…as well as remixed/remastered unreleased versions of 2 Psychic TV songs for a forthcoming deluxe edition of 'Dreams Less Sweet'. <<<<<:---
