You Are the Magician of Your Own Life

The Magician - The Alchemist- The 1st card in the Major Arcana after The Fool. This is about Manifestation. The Magician is the first energy of physical manifestation we see.

Using all the elements of the tarot – swords (air, mental), cups (water, emotional), pentacles (physical, earth) and wands (fire, spirituality).

He is also calling on the energy of heaven and earth (the universe) to bring everything together to create and manifest that which he so desires.

"As Above, So Below, As Within, So Without. As the Universe, So the Soul" - Hermes Trismegistus

The Magician is acknowledging that you have all the resources at hand to create the life you so desire. Whether that is a new business venture, creative project or even a completely new chapter in your life.

Addiction & The Devil of the Major Arcana

Bianco Nero Tarot The Devil card in the Major Arcana, along with the Death card and the Tower card are three of the most feared cards in the tarot for those who do not understand what they represent.
