The Magician (I), also known as The Magus or The Juggler, is the first trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination. In divination it is considered by some to succeed The Fool card, often numbered 0 (zero).

 

In the Magician's right hand is a scroll raised toward heaven, the sky or the element รฆther, while his left hand is pointing to the earth. This iconographic gesture has multiple meanings, but is endemic to the Mysteries and symbolizes divine immanence, the ability of the magician to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.

 

On the table in front of the Magician the symbols of the four Tarot suits signify the Classical elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

 

Beneath are roses and lilies, the flos campi and lilium convallium,[a] changed into garden flowers, to show the culture of aspiration.[b][7]

 

The Magician is associated with the planet Mercury, and hence the signs of Gemini and/or Virgo in astrology.[8]

 

According to Lionnet, when the Magician appears in a spread, it points to the talents, capabilities and resources at the querent's disposal. Depending on the card's placement in relation to other cards, the message is to tap into one's full potential rather than holding back, especially when there is a need to transform something. There are choices and directions to take. Guidance can arrive through one's own intuition or in the form of someone who brings about change or transformation.[9]

In this temple a Circle is drawn upon the floor for the limitation of his working.

This circle is protected by divine names, the influences on which he relies to keep out hostile thoughts.

Within the circle stands an Altar, the solid basis on which he works, the foundation of all.

 

Upon the Altar are his

FIRE - Wand [Creation],

WATER - Cup [Preservation],

AIR - Sword [Destruction], and

EARTH - Pantacle [Redemption],

to represent his Will, his Understanding, his Reason, and the lower parts of his being, respectively.

 

On the Altar, too, is a phial of Oil, surrounded by a Scourge, a Dagger, and a Chain, while above the Altar hangs a Lamp.

The Magician wears a Crown, a single Robe, and a Lamen, and he bears a Book of Conjurations and a Bell.
