I’ve started a healing journey through the Tarot deck. I was reflecting on The Magician, one of the major Archetypes in the deck. While feeling into the card, I asked: What are you here to teach me? What are you bringing up from within? What are you wanting me to see? What came out was quite interesting; I’d already spoken to The Fool, who was all about new beginnings and needing to make sure I take note of the little details before I come a cropper off the edge of the cliff, taking my sense of pride for doing the right thing with me. You know, reading emails fully and taking note of appointment times are a couple of things I’ve overlooked lately. The Magician reinforced the need for planning and being focused on the task at hand. I have everything I need to create what I desire: the passion, the elements, and the understanding of the cycles at work behind my intention. The Magician is here to bring light into the situation and ground it in reality. From this insightful feel into the energies of The Magician, he is not just a sleight-of-hand magic man. Looking past the facade and the robes. The Magician is here to teach us more about energetic balance, intention, faith, patience, trusting the cycles of life, and, most of all, our own sovereignty. We all have the Magician within us; we can create magic. What are you going to do with the magic when you find it? Guide others in their search for meaning? Or plug some holes so you can be a living testament to the healing power of Tarot? What are your thoughts on the Magician card? From the archive of Robert Ripley: “Believe it or Not”
