THE MAGICIAN
Description
The magician
stands by his desk, the tools of the Tarot layed upon them. In his hand
is a wand and above his head the symbol of eternity. The flowers are in
bloom around him and he stands face forward, ready to begin his magic.
The magician
has placed before him the tools of the Tarot - these being the Wand or
stave, the Pentacle, the sword and the cup. These are the 4 elements of
the Tarot and represent Fire, Earth, Air and Water. It is from these elements
that the Magician can create all that he needs to and as they lay on the
table before him, they indicate that he is aware of their powers.
Divinatory
Meaning
The Magician
is the 2nd card of the Tarot and one which represents knowledge in many
ways. When you see this card in a reading, you can be sure that the
person will have the skills to 'pull it off' or will somehow have some
'magical' help on the way.
Generally,
in a divination sense, this card means that the tools to accomplish will
be placed before them - however what they do with those tools is another
matter. Simply because the tools are there it doesn't nessesarily
mean that the person will put them to good use. Rest assured however
that knowing that the tools are there is often enough encouragement for
the person to use them.
