The Magician
You’re ready. All the elements you’ll need are within your reach and you’re going to do the thing. More than that, you’re dedicated to doing the thing for as long as it takes to bring forth this vision in your mind.
You’re standing strong and steadfast with one hand extended to the heavens, one hand pointing to the Earth. You’re a conduit between the two. All the energy of a Saturday Night Fever disco pose, but with more mystical make-it-happen flair. You can feel the power of what you’re capable of running through you, the vast potential that can be brought into the world when you take action. It’s time. Let’s do this.
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
― Martha Graham
Who is The Magician?
The Magician is the card of moving into action. The Fool brought you that intuitive nudge, the spark of “yes! this!” ringing in your body. Now it’s time to bring it through and out into the world. Step from the void of zero into the solid reality of one. This is where you manifest the spark into something tangible.
