Career, Work Or Retirement:

Receiving the Magician in reverse can indicate a resistance to needed change when it comes to your working life. The truth is that nothing stays the same forever, change and newness is a part of life. Don’t cling to the past.

Card Meanings: Insecurity, Delay, Cunning, Unused Ability, Greed, Lack Of Self-Confidence, Unimaginative, Manipulation, Untrustworthiness, Conniving, Trickery

The Mage is about making higher and better use of all of one’s power. Spiritual, emotional, and otherwise. This is another card that often signifies new beginnings and great expectations. This is a very powerful, positive omen in a reading. This card reminds us that we have the power to make a difference, in our lives and in the greater world, if we simply make a point to try. You should note that this is not magic in the sense that you need to do spell-work or anything of that nature. It’s also not ‘magic’ like a stage illusionist performs, which is the somewhat superficial appearance of wondrous feats. This is actual transformation of the literal and figurative world in normal ways. You are not going to have it all handed to you on a plate, but you have the potential to have that plate and a lot of what’s on it if you do the magic yourself. The Mage is all about action. If you do nothing you’ll get nothing. If you don’t know what to do then just do something because anything is better than nothing. In other words if you don’t try you won’t get.

Portable Magic
Book Details
Portable Magic: It may seem strange that the magician enters one of the cards during rituals of Tarot magic. In the Western esoteric tradition, it is usual for the magician to remain within his or her own body during the greater part of ritual work. This is not equally so in the magic of the East. Tibetan magicians work with esoteric designs laid out upon the floor or the ground that express in symbolic form astral temples, astral landscapes, or entire planes of being without physical reality. They project themselves into these pictures by identifying themselves with a small token, which they place within the design, usually at its centre. As long as the token that embodies their identity remains within the design, they are present and self-aware in the astral reality that the design represents.

Portable Magic: Compounding the difficulty of understanding the origin of the picture tarot cards is their evolution. The twenty-two images did not remain fixed, but changed over the centuries, and varied from place to place. The structure of the Tarot as a whole was in flux in the early decades of its use for gaming purposes. In some c o u n ~ i e these number of tarot cards expanded, while in others it was reduced. Given this mutation of the Tarot, it is surprising how easy it is to recognize Tarot decks, even when there are many variations from what is considered to be the standard deck of seventy-eight tarot cards. While individual tarot cards were added, discarded, or modified, the soul of the Tarot the essence that gave it a unique, enduring identity remained intact.

Creative Tarot: The more you work with the spreads, the more they will tell you. There are many resources online where you can find other spreads, both traditional and made up by other tarot enthusiasts. I find, though, that the better way to work is to choose a few spreads and stick with them, rather than always trying something new.

Elements of the Psychic World: Find a place where you can relax and get comfortable without being disturbed. Close your eyes and imagine a beautiful place of light and sound. As you breathe slowly and deeply, imagine a bridge leading to this place and see yourself walking on it. As you reach the end of this bridge you are surrounded by light and colour and sound. Take time to explore the feeling of the place and to listen to the sounds. You come to a full-length mirror. As you look into the mirror you realize that the image you see is the real you, the ideal you, the magical you – your inner guide. To your amazement your inner guide steps out of the mirror and stands in front of you saying in a kind, gentle voice, ‘I am the most creative part of you. I see what you do not. How can I help you?’
