The Magician is a unique card that represents our innermost self, our inner guide, the voice within, among many other associated representations of that divine essence within us that is knowledgeable and aware of universal wisdom and understanding; it's law's and principles inherently within our subconsciousness. It is the inner source that guards and protects us and helps to guide us along life's many bumpy roads while exploring the depths of our beingness trying to "find ourselves". It is that inner knowing between right and wrong, that can sense danger and steer us upon a path of self awareness and discovering life's purpose. That inner drive, power within that represents our personal power at it's rawest form resides deep within. It is this drive that impels us to seek understanding and recognizing our strengths, talents and abilities.

It is that pure raw power that most of us have never been able to tap into it's fullest potential. Here within resides the Magician. The duality of our nature and the inherent knowledge within to utilize this power to manifest our desired goals and dreams. Most of this is just ignored or unrecognized by the majority of individuals who are not in touch with their self on a deeper level. It happens on a subconscious level that steers us down a personal path of self discovery. Although the signs are usually prevalent and abundant they usually go unnoticed or are easily dismissed as coincidence. That inner guide is often referred to as our intuition. It is something we are inherently born with whether we are aware of it or not, it still exists and has scientifically been proven that there is a likelihood that we all have a higher sense of perception.

It is through trying to explore and get in touch with this part of ourselves that we begin to connect and know the Magician. This is where paying attention to the patterns and signs that are occurring within your life are so helpful because it helps teach us how our personal energy affects everything else around us. This is where we begin to realize our thoughts are energy that can create change. Think of it in this way, life is a large still body of water; if you toss a stone into the water it will produce a rippling effect thereby affecting everything it comes into contact with. Our thoughts are likened to the stone, with our thoughts, we are constantly drawing unto ourselves experiences that have been brought about by our thoughts and actions; energetically speaking. When you are dwelling on negative things or lack in your life, essentially your thoughts are creating more things in your life that you don't want or have a lack of because it is negative energy in motion. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention to your thoughts and to maintain a positive attitude and outlook on life. Look for the good things in life you are blessed with rather than all the bad things going wrong in your life. In doing so, this will help alter the patterns of the experiences you draw unto yourself. Positive thoughts bring forth positive actions which bring about positive results.

Listen to the Magician within and get in touch with this part of yourself that is knowledgeable of the universal and alchemical processes associated with energy and manifestation. This will help you to become more aware of your own ability to create change within yourself and the world around you positively. May you expand in your awareness and vision, as well as, come to understand your personal power to reach your fullest potential.

To Your Divinatory Success!
