Introduction
The Magician is a lightning rod. He holds a wand up to the sky, drawing energy down from the universe. His other hand points down, channeling the magic through his body to the earth below. The objects of the four suits float around him.
Symbolism
The Magician symbolizes the concept of manifestation. He draws energy from his surroundings and directs them to create or manipulate something. This card wants you to do the same. Channel all your obsessions, experience, excitement, and resources. Get in there and make something.
Reading
In readings, the Magician urges you to dream big, and get ready to make it happen. Let’s go back to the lightning rod metaphor. The Magician draws the energies down, through him, then releases them into the earth. This is not the kind of energy one can keep up 24/7, and you may associate it with mania or obsessive tendencies. The key is to channel and release this energy in a productive way. To act is to direct your strength in specific directions. In her book Kitchen Table Tarot, Melissa Cynova says, 'This card always reminds me that we are magic' (38). When the Magician card appears, it adds potential to the entire reading. You are creative and powerful. Make it happen.
