The Magician card often depicts a grand yet mysterious figure,
inspiring reverence and receptivity to higher awareness. It
also represents a showman, a creator of illusions.
Some readers compare the Magician with the Fool because the
illusionary aspects of the Magician cause some to wonder
if he is, in fact, another aspect of the Fool, or perhaps the
Fool after he has completed his journey of learning. The
Magician
is card number 1.
Some Tarot Decks (such as the popular Rider Waite and Robin
Wood decks) depict the Magician receiving higher energy via
his raised right hand and grounding it with his lowered left
hand. Many writers suggest that the Magician’s key
role is to receive spiritual understanding and make it accessible
to others.
The Magician is usually interpreted as a positive card that
indicates many abilities, confidence, initiative, information
and energy.
