Episode Synopsis
The Tarot Marseille's Magician card is one of the most significant cards in tarot. It represents the power of manifestation, creativity, and the ability to transform energy.In the card, we see a man standing behind a table, holding a wand in his right hand and pointing upwards with his left hand. The Magician is surrounded by magical symbols: a snake coiled around his waist, a lemniscate floating above his head, and four elements represented by the four suits of tarot cards.The Magician also reminds us that we should use our creativity and skills to improve our lives and the lives of others. We must be aware of our own power and use it wisely.The Magician is the archetype of creativity, power, and transformation. He represents the ability to take the energy of the universe and transform it into something new and tangible. This card is a reminder that we have everything we need to manifest our intentions and achieve our goals.In the image of the card, his hair is white and golden because his intelligence is the result of his age. In the Rider-Waite deck, paradoxically, he is a young man. The magician looks out of the card towards our dreams. His face reflects spontaneity. His gaze is lost in infinity. Other interpretations suggest that he is addressing a specific audience, symbolized in this case by the querent or reader. The magician comes to represent action in the world.In the Marseille tarot, his hat takes the shape of infinity. In numerous secret societies, it signifies initiation or possession of secret knowledge and higher wisdom. The wand he holds in one of his hands acts as a channel or bridge between the spiritual and the material.In the card, he is accompanied by an incomplete table with three legs. The fourth leg is not visible because it represents "what we do not see" but is supposed to be there. It is likely that one of his legs replaces that unnoticed leg. In other tarot decks, the entire table is not shown. It usually comes with plants on the ground, where it is perceived as a field.The magician works with the four elements shown in the image of the card in the following way:Wands (the wand)Cups (the small cups)Swords (the dagger)Coins (the coins)
