The Magician Tarot Card In Reverse
In the reverse, the Magician can be manipulative and deceitful, so you might want to keep an eye out for anyone in your environment who isn’t being above board. The reversed Magician can also indicate that you aren’t using all of the resources at your disposal to manifest your dreams. Take a closer look and try to think outside of the box. Don’t dismiss any skills or talents, no matter how small or insignificant you might think they are.
Symbology of The Magician
In the Rider-Waite the Magician is depicted with a table in front of him that has a symbol of each of the suits on it. The pentacles, cups, wands, and swords. This means he has all of the elements right there – like the ingredients for a recipe. All he has to do is craft it together, and he does this with the wand in his hand, the symbol of spirit. Over his head is the infinity symbol, which reminds us that we can manifest anything we can dream of.
How to Embody The Magician
The Magician uses all of the resources he has at his disposal to manifest what he wants in his life. The first step is setting our intention, but without embodying our dreams, they won’t manifest in our lives.
