The Magician<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Magician is the first card of the tarot deck marked with the number one above the image. The image shows a man standing behind a table one arm stretched upwards holds a wand the other arm stretched downward points towards the ground. \u00a0Above his head floats a symbol of infinity around his waist a snake also a symbol of infinity. He is surrounded by a white halo and on his table are the four suits of the tarot the chalice, the sword, the staff and the pentacle.<\/p>\n

The magician is a spiritual being when I encounter the Magician while doing a reading he represents the all. \u00a0He comes forth to tell you that you have all the tools needed to continue on your path and towards your goals.<\/p>\n

I heard a story about the Fool, in the Tarot the Fool is the final card of the Greater Arcana. He is represented by the number zero. In the story the Fool begins his journey being foolish of course he doesn’t really pay attention to much. However as he wanders he encounters the Magician. The Magician ask the fool for his satchel which the Fool carries on a stick. \u00a0When the Fool give the Magician his bag the Magician opens it to find all the tools of the tarot. But the Fool begins to questions the Magician how did those get there? \u00a0Where did they come from? Why are they there? To which the Magician responds it doesn’t matter they are there to use so use them wisely. \u00a0What we don’t see in this story is the fact that the Fool carries his satchel yet had no idea what is inside.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we don’t realize what tools we have in our possession and when we do realize it we hesitate on if we should or shouldn’t use them. Clearly the Magician comes as a reminder for you to use the tools you already have. So don’t spend to much time on the who what when where and why’s and more time on the how can I use these gifts to better myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
