I am participating in the #tarot78days challenge which is being hosted by The Bookish Fox – instagram here and weblog here.

I – The Magician.

The Fool represents potential and in the Magician that potential has been sensed & harnessed. The bird, fish, mouse and lizard represent the elements. The Magician, with his unflinching gaze, is aware of his potential power and is calmly at one with it. He knows who he is and does not shy away from living his truth. In Rachel Pollack’s ‘Tarot Wisdom’ she states that the Roman numeral ‘I’ implies the conscious self, the ego. While the Fool has potential but is seemingly unaware of his power, the Magician sees a realisation and acceptance of this power. The Magician has obtained knowledge – know thyself – temet nosce.
