The Magic of Beginning

Along a forest stream, illuminated by candles placed within them, walnut shells filled with wax and magic float by. Fire feeds the magical intention with energy, and by releasing it with the current, the spell begins to work. The fire will burn until the wax runs out, and the tiny boats will then either burn or sink. Their destination doesn't really matter—symbolically it could be the sea or the otherworld or the place where dreams go after they come true. Wandering lights, attracted by the power of fire magic, descend to accompany the little boats.

Becoming the Magician

This card invites you to become the cloaked magician who creates a new spell. Watch the movement of the fiery boats on the dark water and imagine how your own idea fills with energy. Any endeavor you begin now has excellent chances for success.

Brief Meaning

Beginning of a new enterprise. Release your creative energy into the world and watch what comes of it.

If You Look Closely

There is a saying that if you are given walnuts, your recent wish will come true.
