LINK TO MAGICIAN CARD DREAM POEM & PHOTO

Just a quick note to share the link to a post I made today to my other blog (dreams & poetry) that has The Magician card at it's heart.

The Magician version above is by Theresa Wilding and since we're only days past Halloween, seems appropriate. Besides, it's a favorite of mine among the Tarot Magicians that I've come across to date.

'til next time, keep enjoying The Tarot, in whatever ways it comes to you in your life,

THE MAGICIAN (I) REDUX

A WICKED MAGICIAN --

I have addressed The Magician (I) already (click here). But I just came across this wonderful version by Teresa Wild that I use by permission:



Do visit Terry's site to see some of her other Tarot paintings.

For comparison, here's The Magician in the Rider/Waite/Smith deck:



Terry's version of The Magician gave me the following additional meaning:

Someone who you are seeing as scary or wrong or even evil (maybe blaming them for something) because of their unusual understandings and/or abilities. Take a deep breath and try to see past your assumptions or fear to determine what this person is really about and what they are truly offering. Then what you need to do will become clearer.

THE MAGICIAN (I)

TODAY’S CARD IS The Magician (I). This version is from the beautiful Gaian Tarot, by Joanna Powell Colbert and is used by permission:



Here’s The Magician in the Rider/Waite/Smith Tarot:



THE MAGICIAN: I have always found a strong association between The Magician, and music and musicians. So when I saw The Magician in the lush Gaian Tarot I was especially delighted.

DIFFERENT TAKES ON THE MAGICIAN (I):

Can refer to music and/or a musician.

You are in some sort of transition, possibly stuck in it.

Loneliness (only the “I”).

You did the best you could given the skills and tools you had.

Charisma, possibly used selfishly.

As much as one learns, one does not know it all, ever.

Can indicate a person with mediumistic abilities; or that a deceased person wishes to communicate; or thoughts about the afterlife or a deceased person.
