A great card to start off the week, the magician assures us that we have all the skill, will, understanding, discipline and creativity we need to successfully tackle any task or project at hand. Not all tasks are material, though, and as a conduit between higher planes and solid earth, the magician indicates that if you are dealing with mental, emotional or spiritual matters, these thoughts will be fruitful and grounded in "real world" terms. Likewise, physical/material matters will be endowed with a greater significance and meaning. Nothing is "only" what it is; everything has layers of meaning and connectivity, and you are in the perfect position to make it all work.

Be confident now in the knowledge and intuition that the years have brought you, but be careful not to be a show-off. Your self assurance and quiet power should emanate naturally - no need to make a circus sideshow of yourself. This card is also a reminder not to focus too obsessively on either the physical/material world or the emotional/metaphysical strata, but to remember that your role is to serve as a vessel where the two may meet; this intersection is where you will find meaning, power, and direction.

A note on the bunny tarot: Taking my cue from the magician himself, I've decided to begin presenting my own interpretations for the cards instead of borrowing from learntarot.com as I have up 'til now. This is my first!

That is way cool, taz... your interp. seems to be right on according to my own limited Tarot understanding- I look forward to more of these.

Wow, that's a cool thought. Great interpretation, thank you. Keep it up!

I pulled the Magician, like, seven times once out of not many more shuffles over a week. Freaky.

Here's Dave McKean's beautiful (DC Comics) Vertigo Tarot, by the way, that features text by Neil Gaimen (if you buy it.)

Shouldn't Constantine be the Magician? Nah, the Fool's the best card in the deck...

Great interpretation, taz. I think I'll reference the Waite book as well. I bet you two come close!

John Constantine. Man, I still love those original Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis issues.

Sorry.
John Constantine.
I'll stop hogging the thread now. I'm a fool ;-)

Shane, the artwork on the Vertigo Tarot is fantastic, thanks so much for the link.

That card is just what I've needed to deal with a lot of difficult tasks I'm currently facing. Thanks, taz!
