Card of the Day~ The Magician~ 3.25.07
Major Arcana Card # I, Marseilles Deck, entitled Le Bateleur.
A Magician stands before a table upon which are placed items signifying the four suits of cards: Swords, Wands, Coins and Cups. It is the only card in the Tarot deck that refers to all four suits and they each represent various strengths or weaknesses, or perhaps pathways and inclinations, or perhaps…? The Sword of the Mind and Will, the Wand of Magic and Spirituality, the Coins of Success and Possessions, and the Chalice of Emotions and Passions. Some interpretations say these are the items that the Fool was carrying in her/his pack, others that the Magician created them. The Magician knows but does not tell.
How do you interpret this card? Are you the Magician or is he someone else? Did the Fool carry these tools in the pack, or were they created by the Magician? What is the Fool to do with them? What do the tools represent to you?

I am looking all over for my Motherpeace Deck so I can compare and comment, but do you think I can find it? No. How can I lose a set of tarot cards in a red silk bag? I’m almost ready to go to Borders and buy a new deck of a different sort. Perhaps I’ll go tonight. I have a little extra money squirreled away. You will hear from me soon.

Bo~ I hope you find your Motherpeace cards so you can tell us about them, I’m very interested in learning about this deck. Are they hiding because you’ve been neglecting them? Hmmm??

I am guilty of neglect. Soul Food has been taking up a lot of my time. But you’ve inspired me to get going.

When I settle for a few moments and overcome my ADD syndrome :-) I am going to come right back here and have a play and make some drawings that could be tarot cards. I think what you are doing here is just brilliant Mari. What a wonderful additon to the site.
