the magic of possibilities
Hi G.
You arrive at the path of the magic of possibilities... The path of the Magician represents the magic of possibilities, discipline and focus.
The Magician is the charming negotiator with magical communication skills. His verbal eloquence makes him a persuasive speaker, salesperson or negotiator, but also a deceptive trickster or bluffer when he uses his elocutionary gifts to accomplish darker goals.
My Interpretation Of The Magician
The Magician is enumerated one which suits him perfectly since this card represents someone who can attain goals through personal tools, which for the Magician are his agile mind and adept communication skills. The Magician uses these eloquent verbal skills for both positive and nefarious outcomes.
The Magician symbolizes new beginnings, where all things are possible, and his confidence enables him to focus all his attention on the task at hand. His mastery and capacity for focus cannot be shaken.
Fueled by a strong desire to achieve and dominate, he can nevertheless suffer under the burden of the past, and emerges from its spell at times only with difficulty. When so burdened, the Magician can become a trickster and skillfully create an illusion of preparedness that belies his true condition. However, when he feels incapable of freeing himself from the clutches of the past, his iron will wards him against harm or failure. The Magician never discloses his inscrutable plans because of his need to win at all he sets his hand to.
The Magician is connected to the planet Mercury – aptly so considering its parallels with his power of communicating and manner of thinking. The Magician's energies also recall the planet's dynamics, coming in “fast," short bursts.
In his lowest form, the Magician embodies the mind of the deceitful and cunning trickster; yet on a higher level he corresponds to the fascinating workings of a rational, objective mind. His thinking is short term, rooted firmly in the present. He is quick to contradict, but also to come up with answers.
If the Magician is surrounded by positive Tarot cards, it may mean that this person's charms and sense of fun make him a pleasure to associate with. When the Magician card is surrounded by negative Tarot cards, be alert to the danger that he may represent a con man. Be careful in whom you trust, as appearances can all too often lead one astray.
Positive Position: You will put your plans into action and look forward to the magic of possibilities. You are confident, focused, and all your attention is related to the realization of your dreams.
Negative Position: You are overconfident, misleading, the trickster or the schmoozer. You are experiencing delays with putting your plans into action, or you are not ready to put your plans into action. You may mislead others into making the wrong choices, or you will keep them waiting.
The Story Of Hermes
In Greek Mythology Hermes was the son of Zeus (the god of fate and destiny). Hermes was the messenger of all the gods and Zeus's personal messenger. He was known as the fastest among the gods: clever, quick, cunning, the traveler, thief, liar, trickster in his lowest form, and the ruler of magic.
Hermes stands grounded to the earth, with one hand pointing up to the heavens and the other pointing down toward the underworld. He is the god of transitions, working between both worlds and carrying souls to the afterlife.
On the rocks in front of him are a sword (a reflection of thought), a cup (a reflection of emotion), a pentacle (a reflection of stability and security) and a lit wand (a reflection of action and creativity) intertwined with a caduceus (the astrological symbol of the planet Mercury, his ruling planet).
The caduceus represents the Magician's timelessness and limitless power, and recalls the same concept of the Ouroborus serpent shedding its skin and devouring its own tail in acts that suggest infinity, rebirth, immortality, rejuvenation, and eternity. Whatever may befall the Magician, he recuperates quickly, always shedding the past as the serpent sheds its skin.
