One of my favorite cards in The Tarot is the Magician...This card is a card of strength and power, its powerful message is that you can create and manifest whatever you want in life...with effort and your own inner power all can be accomplished and manifested. This card also shows that you are or about to do what needs to be done. Taking action is also signified by this card. If this card shows up in a spread in relation to someone else you are asking about, it may mean they are a person with a powerful personality, someone who gets things done or someone who is very forceful by nature, sometimes overbearing or hard to deal with. It can also signify a person who tends to be creative. If this card shows up in a spread when you are asking about the outcome of a goal or dream, the answer here is a strong yes! You will gain this goal or hope because you will pursue it until you get it! This is a very positive card by nature as it's encouraging us to take things forward no matter how hard it may seem.

- Magic or spellcraft may be a factor in your present circumstances: If negative take steps to cleanse yourself.
- If linked with a male or female court card that is reversed (King or Queen) someone is either deliberately or unknowingly sending negativity your way usually just thoughts or projecting their negative attitude on you. (this may be spell work but its rare) Take steps to cleanse yourself now!

Some Card Combinations with the Magician
The Magician, The Sun and the Wheel
A powerful trinity of cards that usually indicates a successful outcome to a goal or hope. It can also mean success is coming after a long trial or hard fight. The wheel indicates that this was something that was meant to be yours and success is going to crown you.
The Magician Reversed, (Any) Queen or King and the Devil.
- The Magician Reversed with the Devil card: Negative Spellwork, Curses, Negativity in general, Evil, Negative people & Enemies.
- The Queen or King card indicates the person behind the attack or negativity to begin with.
This combination is rare to see in most readings, however I have seen it often dealing with spiritual and psychic attack victims. It usually indicates that either negative spell work has been done or will be done, and/or a psychic attack is underway. I can't stress enough that this is rare and if it does show up it may just mean that you are under strong stress and surrounded by negative people. It doesn't always mean spell work or curses. If you aren't involved with others who are strongly linked with the occult , it most likely means that you are picking up negativity from people who you don't get along with. Do a self cleansing, buy a protective oil such as Lemongrass and smell this visualizing a strong shield around you. Mix 3 drops with salt and any lemon scented shower gel and scrub yourself in the shower visualizing the negativity leaving you going down the drain. This will usually get rid of any day to day build up of negativity.
The Magician, The 8 of Pentacles and The Hermit
You will be successful in any future study or learning. This trio of cards also shows that you may undertake study in the future that will advance your career. The hermit card here with the other two cards indicates that you will need to 'take time out' for yourself in the future to focus on your goals but it will be a total success! If you are thinking of returning to school or worried about a test and these cards come up don't be! They scream success!
The Magician Card Meditation
This card is great to sit and meditate on to help increase your inner power, self confidence and magical energy! If you feel you lack the motivation to achieve a goal or wish. Sit quietly by the light of a gold candle, burn some lemon incense (symbolizes the moon) and look at the Magician card. Focus on your goal as you ponder on the details of the card. Imagine yourself full of strength and potential, see yourself gaining your goal and succeeding. Imagine a gold light streaming into you and empowering you. Do this daily if you wish or only once to aid you in recharging your energies!
Blessed be!
