I. The Magician 

Guiding words/ideas:

Stepping into a stream of power and magic; making a declaration of interconnectivity; being a conduit; a call to remember your magical nature.

Channeled guidance:

In this version of The Magician, we see a young person full of connection, power, and intention. They are linking with the power of the universe. And they are sharing this magnified magic with all other earthly beings and beings beyond human comprehension. This sharing is a declaration of deep connection. It is stepping into a river of power and magic that is outside of space and time, available to all beings, and powerful beyond imagination.

The figure here is young because humans are often more in touch with this stream of beauty and interconnectivity when they are young, before they have been through conditioning and have learned to mistrust their instincts, before they have been taught that magic is not real. For adult humans, remembering this river and stepping back into one’s magic is a powerful and necessary step in the quest to become one’s full self. This interconnectivity is essential for true peace and harmony with all living beings.

The magician card is also about action. It’s about being confident in oneself and being willing to make this declaration of interconnectivity. This young being has two feet planted firmly on the ground, deeply connected to the entire planet, and unshakable in their resolve. They have one hand reaching down to further ground them and another hand reaching up towards the sky and into infinite space. It is a beautiful play of color and texture. They’re holding three wands. Out of each one comes a burst of flame. There’s an excitement in the air, electricity bouncing all around. 

This card is an invitation to step into your magical self, indeed into your magical nature, to understand that you are part of everything and that you are a conduit for the energy that permeates this universe. The power, life force, zest, and creativity feel like blood flowing through you—a vitality that has maybe been missing and is so very necessary. So be strong enough, brave enough, even “crazy” enough to remember who you truly are and the power that you possess. This card calls to you to remember your magical nature.
