Design Description

♾️ The Magician is a card that carries with it ideas of new beginnings, manifestation or manipulation, resourcefulness and empowered actions or untapped potential. We felt that our edition of this timeless card would best be paired with the tale of Dr. Frankenstein. After all, in Mary Shelley’s famous legend, the titular character manipulates the natural laws of science and morality to bend the will of life and death to his own design.

This card was aptly labeled with the number one, which represents commencement and the introduction of opportunity. The image itself depicts our subject standing in his laboratory. Before him, we see the lower half of his infamous monster as he unwittingly awaits reanimation. This is the manifestation of his goals and ideas coming to fruition by his own hand. This monster is created and revived due to Dr. Frankenstein’s abilities, persistence, and resourcefulness. Behind him, we see that his Tesla coils have created an electric arc in the shape of an infinity symbol above his head, representing his unlimited potential. On the wall behind him hang two shelves that hold various objects, four of which carry significance to this deck. The bat, pumpkin, goblet, and candle each represent air, earth, water, and fire respectively. The inclusion of all four elements is crucial to establishing the fact that The Magician is equipped with all the necessary tools one needs to bring forth change. 

His body language is also of consequence here. Notice that he has one arm raised toward the sky while the other is pointed toward the ground. This position signifies the aphorism, “As above, so below.” It is this relationship between the metaphysical and physical realms that greatly aids The Magician in his quest to ignite change both within himself and in his wordly circumstances. He is a balancing force, uniting these two planes toward a common intention or innovation.

Regardless of where or how this card occurs in your reading, you can be sure that it is a sign of action, willpower, and change in your life.
