We have begun our in depth exploration of the Major arcana. If you are just now joining us make sure to go back and start at the beginning of our series for the best understanding. The Magician is the next card of the Major Arcana following the Fool. It is numbered as card #1, the number of new beginnings.
The card
The Magician stands with one arm stretched upwards towards the Heavens, and the other pointing down to the earth. His positioning represents his connection between the spiritual realms and the material realms. The Magician’s robe is white, symbolizing purity, and his cloak is red, representing worldly experience and knowledge. On the table in front of him are the four symbols of the minor arcana suits, each symbolizing one of the four elements. It is also a sign that he has all the tools he needs to manifest his intentions into being. Above his head is the infinity symbol, and around his waist is a snake biting its own tail. Both of these are to show that he has access to unlimited potential. And in the foreground is an array of vegetation, symbolizing the blossoming and fruition of his ideas and aspirations.
Interpretations
When drawn upright The Magician represents pure willpower, diplomacy, manifestation, resourcefulness, power, and inspired action. When reversed he is deceptive, indicating manipulation, poor planning, and untapped talents.
Impact on the fool’s journey
The Magician is The Fool’s teacher and sparks their inquisitive nature. When drawn together you should keep “as above so below” in mind, create your inner world and the outer will follow.
When you pull The Magician in your reading harness some of the Magician’s power to make the world that you desire most. We look forward to helping you develop your connection and understanding of Tarot every Tuesday.
