THE MAGICIAN

This week we explore the message of The Magician, the second card in the major arcana of the Tarot. Within each of us resides a magical, infinite force-- a creative "willpower" that stands in readiness to take on whatever life brings. The Magician points not only to the inner potential and power we travelers possess to create meaningful and fulfilling experiences, but also to the confidence and certainty that all tools, abilities and opportunities are now available to create our destinies.

Depictions of The Magician usually show a young man confidently wielding the four "elemental tools" of the Tarot-- the wand, fire symbol of inspiration and creativity; the pentacle, earth symbol of money and property; the sword, air symbol of thought and intellect; and the cup, water symbol of feeling and emotion. The Magician is master of all four elements, using them at will and with the certainty that mastery brings. He wields his tools with purpose, intention, efficiency and focus-- and he never misses his mark, because he knows before he even begins that success is assured.

The Magician calls us to come into full harmony and integration within, to bring our internal powers into a unified focus so that we may fully utilize our power and manifest real results in the physical world and in our experiences. A tool you can access right this minute to become The Magician? Take a deep breath. Right now. Do it again every time you think of it. Commiting ourselves to simply BREATHING WITH INTENTION can do wonders to unify the internal realm, provide focus and access the wisdom of our inner voices.

And so my fellow travelers, I invite you to breathe! Wave your wands, flip your pentacles, hold your cups, wield your swords and CREATE AWAY!
