The Magician is yourself
The Entire Tarot is about yourself
Keep a Workbook/ loose leaf
Keep things you find out about accidentally
Don;t copy word for word

Key 1
Magician initiates whatever action we want to get into
All magic is in the will
Behind the sill stands desire
If you really want something you have to act on it
I think that’s certain, if you don’t want anything your not going to get it
If you do not act on something you may experience some negative effect.
The Magician does not hesitate . They Act !
If you really want something you have to act on it.
Invoke the world the way you’d like to have it.
As an individual you have the responsibility to get up and get to it
Whatever it is you want to do. Do it.
The Red Robe signifies action and desire
You have to be very patient with yourself and you can choose something that you would really like to do.
Something you really enjoy for a month a year 5 years it is the same
Key one relates to concentration !
Focus = Acceptance and Clarity
To know what you want
Take that focus and Manifest something !
This is true for oneself and very true for these teachings.
All of our powers which we could well pride ourselves in are derived powers .
We are simply the recipient of all the powers that we can exercise.
We saluting the power that is
I realize my powers are completely derived from the source of everything, not just me but everyone else too. This concept should protect us from egotisim.
The Magician helps with understanding all the nice things we can do without material possessions.

Alchemists
“A lot of them were greedy to make gold and the other kind of Alchemist wanted to see if they could become better people”
Most heads of states have alchemists for more money
People interested in Spiritual transformation of mankind and the church didn’t like it
Doctrines of Mystics were against church doctrines.
They believed in Jesus but in a very special way. People don’t change .
Individuality was against church doctrine
Summing up the meaning of Key 1
Self consciousness is the primary human expression of Life Power
It constitutes your awareness of your environment and this is really awareness of mental impression you receiver rom the world round you through the channels of sensation..
The activities of your environment are manifestations of various power of sub consciousness but your intelligent awareness of these manifestation is prerequisite to gaining controls over self consciousness .
Self Consciousness is consciousness of being one ,

Notes on the Magician from Mary Greer’s Book
The Essence of Magic
Magician represents focused concentration , the awareness of yourself as a unique creative individual who uses their mind and will to channel their intent into actuality , manifesting ideas into form.
When you embody the ability to innovate concentrate and communicate your thoughts you can transform mundane situations into magical ones.
When you embody this key other see you as an independent leader working solon on your own initiative.
The other side of the Magician is the one of the trickster or juggler.
One who can be unscrupulous with getting others to think like them but you can be net workers and facilitators and a atavist for change as well.
Imaginative, skillful, the power to do things for yourself.
Here are a few herbs for the Magician
Dill : Dill sharpens the senses used by Roman Gladiators it heightens your awareness of your environment it also stimulates appetite
Dill can bring objectivity into a situation where you must digest psychic and mental influences

Notes from Paul Foster Case Key 1
The Key 1 is the most important Key it summarizes his work
“The primary manifestation of Spirit is Will, of which attention = wand is the essence and to which memory = the wallet is closely linked .
Wisdom having for it’s essence Imagination The rose is the secondary expression .
Upon progress of this vital principle of humanity depends the advancement of the sub human forms represented by the dog at the Fools feet.”
Upon progress of this vital principle of humanity depends the advancement of the sub human forms represented by the dog at the Fools feet.”
“ The Fool may be represented as a circle
The Magician as the center
The High Priestess as the diameter dividing the circle into equal parts.
Circle is infinite Intelligence
Center is the Primal Will To Good
ADN the extension of that well toward the limitless Circumference is the line.
The Four Tools of the Magician
Four Aces ( Notes from teachmetarot.wordpress.com)
a great site btw
The Four Aces represent our gifts from the Divine
we come in with them when we are born
The 4 aces reside in the Kether on the Tree of Life . The Crown / Divine Source
Boundless possibilities energies waiting to be used.
To initiate anything in life we begin with the aces without their presence nothing will happen life wills stand still and be meaningless
They represent therapy states of something
Fire = wands = explosive activity and excitement
Water = Cups = Feeling through our emotions
Air = Swords = the power to thing and plan
Earth = Pentacles or coins ) the ability to build and make form
The energy that accompanies the 4 aces is abstract in form
It is not yet manifested
It is potential not yet realized. .. like the Fool Key 0
The 4 Aces energies are ready and waiting , All we have to do is grab them and they will work !
Hope , new star fresh beginnings
“Remember before anything can manifest , it first must exist as potential .”
0 Fool bursts with potential yet he’s not quite aware of how to use it. The Knapsack on his back is there but he does not know how to use it.
1 Magician unpacks the knapsack .; See here.. look at this Fool these are for you to use. They belong to you. take a look. The tools that have been given to you for your journey. Let me show you how they work.
#1 stands for independent unique and beginning ,, birthplace ,,,
The clouds around the hands ( aces ) is the spirit of God.
Aces also represent the coming of news
Sometimes old news or old commitments must be cleared up before for the new initiating news can take place.
