The Magician – Taking Charge of Creating the Life You Want
After we begin a new journey like The Fool card depicts, the next step is creating the life we want. That’s where The Magician comes in.
The Magician is in the energy of creation. He knows that he
must impose his energy upon his outside world instead of allowing the outside
world to impose its energy upon him and his life. He knows life happens for
him, not to him. He is in charge of his energy and points to the ground and to
the heavens indicating that “as it is above, so it is below.” The Magician has
all the elements of the minor arcana around him, a wand, a pentacle, a cup, and a
sword. So, he has what he needs to create whatever he wants.
He also knows that life is infinite. That is depicted in the
card with the infinity sign above his head and the snake eating its tail as the
belt around his waist. Around his head is a vine of red roses representing
desire. There are also red roses in front of the table intertwined with the
white lilies that imply the manifestation and cultivation of desires. His tunic is
the white of purity and his outer robe is the red of desire, activity, and
passion.
The Magician is calling on a higher power to join spirit and
matter to create what he wants by using his staff in his right hand that is
raised above his head and his left hand pointing towards the earth. I
personally don’t believe you can create anything without the help of the
Divine. And if you notice The Magician is surrounded by a white glow representing
Divine white light. Your connection to the Divine is what creates the spark
that creates your world. And when you connect to the Divine source miracles can
happen.
But it isn’t just calling things in. It’s also taking action
when you are called to do so.
In my own life, I just entered into a new journey living
abroad. I took the leap, much like The Fool, last April. I now am manifesting
the life I want by not only calling in what I want, but also in not allowing in
people, places, and things that I no longer resonate with. That’s why one of the
elements The Magician has is the sword. The sword provides clarity and can cut
things out of our lives and keep them out.
That’s the whole point of the new journey you are on. If you
keep allowing the old to come back and it may not be the same thing, but it’s
of the same energy, you will keep repeating the old cycle. That’s why it's important
to be in the energy of The Magician and use the sword. You want to create
something new and that takes focused energy and fortitude to stay on the new
path you are creating.
The wand is there to remind The Magician of his passions and
to let those passions be his guide. The cup is there to help him stay true to
his heart and the coin is his ties to the earthly realms.
What I’ve noticed in my life is that it requires a lot of
alone time to manifest something new or to stay true to the new path you want
to create. When I first arrived here in Krakow I met up with some colleagues
but they weren’t going on the same path as me. They represented the old energy
I left and at first, I went with it but I soon realized they weren’t going where
I wanted to go. I used the energy of the sword to cut myself free from a path
that only led to the old energy.
So, I spent some time alone getting clear on why I came to
Europe in the first place. I also needed to create a firm foundation of income
streams. That was a priority and where the coin comes into play. You have to
have coin and a constant stream of it to proceed along your path. And I turned
down jobs that didn’t resonate with my passions (the wand) and wasn’t calling
to my heart (the cup.)
So, where in your life can your use The Magician energy or the
tools he has at his disposal? What do you want to create on your latest
journey? What do you need to cut out of your life that is keeping you stuck to
the old path?
I was listening to a tarot reader I really resonate with called
Crystal Empress recently and she
said her channel was for people who were using The Tarot for transformation in
their lives. I totally get her message. And my hope for this video series is
that it helps you transform your life into one that is filled with heartfelt
passion and joy. See you next month when we hear about The High Priestess and
her intuitive powers!
