The Magician
“The One Who Sees What Could Change”
- Symbol
- Alchemical sigil
- Element
- Spirit
- Virtue
- Transformation
The Magician pattern is drawn to transformation. It looks for the hidden mechanism, the turning point, the way one state becomes another — and it can sometimes prefer the vision of change to the slow work of living through it.
