The Magician archetype is the analytic portion of our personality that brings order out of chaos. It is the inner part of ourselves that pursues mastery and deep understanding. The shadow of this “part” of our psychology is fear-based isolation and need for control and this is solved with faith in things that are larger than ourselves that we can surrender control to. Tribe is one of those things.
The Magician archetype is connected to the Desert and Garden phases of the Hero’s Journey. In the desert we integrate new practices into rituals and new behaviors and roles into new identities. In the Garden phase of our life we water the things we want more of and weed the things we don’t. We do not fight or control.
The Magician archetype is about mastery, understanding and the development of better choices. Choice is always a function of awareness and this is why meditation, journaling or other form of mindfulness and cultivation of awareness is a vital Magician ritual to build. Like everything else developmental, this must be done daily to activate the ritual and streak engine of identity. This can only be done with the support and accountability of the tribe and going public can be challenging for the Magician.

Let's all get magician clear on a goal and commitment for this month and move the needle. Share your written Magician goal before August and make a daily post for accountability. If you are moving on meditation as your goal we have a Wolf Tribe daily meditation page on Whatsapp that a bunch of us are already using and we can jump you in on that.
