Quotes: “You can do anything as long as you have the passion, the drive, the focus, and the support.” Sabrina Bryan; “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker; My dear friend, clear your mind of can’t.“ Samuel Johnson.
When I looked at this card, the first thing I noticed is that the magician seems stiffer than the fool. And I discovered that’s because they have knowledge. They are much better prepared than the fool and they know they are powerful. They know that there may be trouble ahead and they are ready to stand strong. The magician I’ve learned is the beginning of a journey I’m ready for. I have all the tools I need to make that decision, take that action, start that journey. It is a call to be proactive.
As part of my study, I use the Tarot Card Meanings Workbook by Brigit Esselmont, biddytarotcard.com, brainyquotes.com (I use the card’s keywords to search for quotes that speak to me), Pinterest to look at other artistic interpretations, and Between the Worlds podcast.
