THE MAGICIAN
| Resourcefulness | Manifestation | Potential | Inspired action |
His hand positioning represents his relationship with both the spiritual (above) and material (below) realms, which he uses to create his tools and goals. On the table are mala prayer beads, a glass water bomb, inventors notebook and lampworking blowpipe - these represent the four elements air, water, earth and fire. Behind him is an array of flowers, symbolising the blossoming of his ideas and aspirations.

“Such skill was the stuff of legend. What dedication, what presence of mind must there be to bend reality itself? This protean energy could achieve anything with proper intention.”

“The Magician is interpreted as symbolic of power, potential, and the unification of the physical and spiritual worlds.”

I always wanted to draw Leila, MC of the lovely @moon-dust-doodles ( kyuuexorcist on insta ) , me bebe. She joined the Arcana alongside me, and always supported me. She’s literally the sweetest person you’ll ever meet.
I love Asra and Leila a whole lot so drawing this masquerade piece was so much fun. I also couldn’t resist adding a little doodle of the magician and Leila’s version of the fool. Adorable little foxes I hope you like it dear!

I just woke up 8 minutes before a virtual interview, and just got offered a job in a field I knew I was destined to be in making $6ish more than my highest paying job. While still having time to focus on my upcoming business ventures.
Recap; For the first interview I showed up late late, forgot to mention having any experience with kids, and got a ticket. Normally this would all seem like signs to not do it but to me they’re just distractions to test my desire and fire for this job.
This proved to me what it means to be the creator of your own reality. I could of beat myself up for going to be 5 hours before my interview, i could of just went back to sleep and said fuck it. But giving up doesn’t live here anymore, I did my best to fix myself up, set up my camera, and hopped on that call. I’m so fucking grateful, thankful, and honestly empowered by source and my entire spiritual council.
Cheers

Well, this isn’t what I was planning on doing as my next post, but since I kind of forgot to do my post on how to advance with the Earth element in living alchemy yesterday and don’t think I’ll be able to do it at least until Sunday, I decided to post some tips on grounding!
If you want to truly succeed in magick, you need to have your head in the Heavens and your feet on the Earth. That means that you need to be able to open your mind to ideas and states that are well outside your everyday experiences, but you also need to keep yourself anchored to reality so you don’t get totally lost in the Art.
Note how The Magician stands. His hand is uplifted with his wand in hand, ready to draw down power from the heights of Heaven and perform his craft. However, his other hand is lowered and opened to the Earth, where his feet are planted firmly. He can only perform his loftiest of tasks when his material needs are secured, and this is where grounding comes in!
Almost anything that keeps you in touch with the physical world can be grounding. It can be doing chores, or taking a walk outside while close to nature, or just taking care of something work-related. Another way to perform grounding is to sit in a chair with your bare feet on the floor or ground, back straight. and empty your mind of thoughts.
Speaking as someone who tends to have a very overactive Third Eye chakra, I know how hard it can be to come back to normal, everyday life once you’ve discovered the wonders of spellcraft. However, the key to success and happiness in magick or anything else is balance. Even the tallest tree has to have stable roots to keep itself standing strong.

the magician - 2/22
Here’s a version of this piece with no text. This is my character The Magician, who I accidentally created when I was working on my first tarot deck. I liked them so much they became my mascot.
