Major Arcana

The Magician

The Magician stands before a table that holds all four suits: cup, sword, pentacle, and wand. One hand lifts toward the sky, the other points to the earth, the channel through which inspiration becomes form. He represents focused will, the moment desire stops being a loose idea and begins to take shape in the hands.

Upright

You already hold the tools you need; the work is alignment between what you feel, what you say, and what you do. Intention becomes useful when it is paired with skill and a clear, honest aim. This is a moment to act with craft rather than wait for permission.

Reversed

Reversed, the gathered power can scatter into distraction, half-finished starts, or talk that outruns the doing. It may also hint at manipulation, or at gifts kept hidden for fear of being seen. Gather the energy back to one point before it dissolves.
