Description of the Image
The Fool is slowly swept away like a seed in the wind, a swirling feather, a crystal of condensation, and she sees the Magician. She sees a youth dedicated to the mystery of the elements. He is wise and powerful, able to call forth spirits, cast spells, and impose restrictions.
One day, she will not be able to resist touching his eyes with the wind; he will open them, shivering, awakening for a moment. 'Who are you?' he asks, but how quickly the spirit transforms into a deer and rushes away.
He chases the deer into the forest. The deer always remains just out of reach. His bare feet sink into the earth. The air rushes through his hair. The sun lashes his shoulders. The tantalizing silvery gleam from the streaking deer teases him until suddenly...
The deer vanishes, and he is alone.
Sitting on a stone, he examines the gift left for him. The traces of the elements shimmer in the sunlight, and as his hands surround the offering, a smile touches his lips with a force that breaks through them.
Meaning
Originality, creativity, mastery, willpower, self-respect, dexterity, and sleight of hand. It speaks of the ability to perceive the spiritual world around you and use this ability to make it a reality, expressing the ineffable in the material sphere of existence. This Magician draws power from the elements symbolized by various objects: fire in his lantern, the voice of the sea in a shell, the breath of the wind in a crow's feather, and the earth in foliage. He knows what he wants, and he knows he can make it happen through the conscious manifestation of his will and his knowledge of how to control the world.
