Major Arcana - The Magician!

  The first person that The Fool meets along his journey through the Major Arcana of the Tarot is The Magician. The Magician is many things to many people, and is particularly important to The Fool.

  The Magician is a person who has spent his life in the search for wisdom and the gathering of knowledge. Through his own dedication and persistence, he has come to be one who can direct the forces around him, be they those of Nature or those on the Metaphysical plane, to advance his own will and fulfill his own needs. He understands the benefits that can come from such direction, and the prices that are to be paid for tapping into such forces. He is confident in his knowledge and powers, having been tested over and over again throughout the years. He embodies a call to action as he is never afraid to act.

  The Magician is The Fool's guide through the Book of Life that is the Major Arcana. He is the male archetype, the spiritual Father, and the one who shows The Way. He is, however, also the trickster to The Fool, leading him into perilous situations where he knows The Fool will stumble, only to come in and save him at the very last minute, always imparting to him a valuable life lesson along the way.  The Fool has a very long way to go in his journey if he ultimately aspires to gain some of the desirable traits of The Magician.
  
  Should you encounter this man of knowledge in a reading, remember that he is the card of someone who always seeks answers, and is very adept at putting them to good use once he finds them. Above all, he is a call to action, and a sign that your sitter is at a stage in their life where they have gathered a certain amount of knowledge and wisdom regarding the topic at hand, and that the time has come to act upon that insight! They should have confidence in their abilities, and move ahead as if the outcome is assured.

  What is your experience with this man of mystery? We would love to hear your comments!
