The Magician
- Yin, Earth, Mercury
- construction
- mastery
- greatness
- relevance of numbers one or four
- first law of motion: an object at rest / in motion will stay in rest / in motion, unless an external force is applied
The Magician Reversed
- breaking taboos
- untapped potential
- personal anarchism
I associate the Magician with manifestation, acting from a place of empowerment, and ritual magick. The association with yin instead of yang threw me, as did the association with earth. I always thought of the Magician as a fiery and dynamic card, full of creativity and personal power; one who harnesses their power to manifest their will into reality.
I wasn’t aware that the Magician is linked to Strength, via the red and white robes, red roses, and lemniscate. I also was not aware (or forgot) that Magician’s belt is an orobous, representing his affinity with the universal unconscious.
