The Magician ✦

What the card shows

The Magician stands with the tools of every suit laid out on the table. The image suggests that the means are already present; what is needed is attention and a clear intention to use them.

The Magician draws attention to available skills and resources. Before looking for another tool, notice what you already know and what is within reach.

Among the major arcana

The 22 major arcana trace a long arc of experience, from the Fool’s first step to the completion of the World. They are often read as the larger themes in a life: beginnings, choices, endings and renewal.
