The Magician
The Magician represents a supportive, transformative force that helps convert raw materials and dreams into tangible results. She empowers originality, self-confidence, skill, and resourcefulness, often signaling a breakthrough when upright. However, the card emphasizes that the helper offers assistance only—the protagonist must take action to move forward and do the right thing. Reversed, the Magician warns of insecurity, delays, lack of imagination, closed doors, or manipulation that can block progress.

Visual Description
A young woman in a pale blue, ruffled gown stands in front of a dark forest, her long blonde hair billowing around her. She holds a wand aloft that traces a bright, comet-like swirl in the night sky. A single red rose is pinned at her chest and lace trims her neckline. Large orange pumpkins and curling green vines occupy the foreground, and small white mice perch on the pumpkins. The card title at the bottom reads "The Magician."
