#19: The Magician's Table: Tools for Your Magic

In the episode I introduce a framing device that I’ve been noodling on for nearly a year to help me conceptualize the relationship I have to my magic: how I show up to my life and invite in what I want or something even better.

The inspiration for this naming is (no shocker!) The Magician card in the tarot. In many renditions of the card, we see a figure with one hand up holding a wand to the sky to channel information from divine and bring it down through the body and onto the earthly plane though the other hand.

Before the figure, we see a wooden table. On it, there are four elemental tools:

• THE WAND - FIRE: the animating spirit within that shows up as passion, energy, zest, bravado
• THE SWORD - AIR: the mental realm of ideas, words, thoughts, persuasion, rhetoric, and communication
• THE CUP - WATER: the emotional world of feelings and empathy, intuitive access to unconscious and dream realms
• THE PENTACLE - EARTH: body, home, senses, money, business, and practical life

To be a reader of any kind, whether you are a creator, artist, or wordsmith in service to your clients or an intuitive guide, therapist, or spiritual coach in the work of healing, the Magician’s Table can be a supportive framing device for cultivating ever deeper intimacy with your tools.

For this I have found to be true: closer and closer attunement to your tools will assist you in emerging more fully as a reader, creator, and guide of any kind.

One of basic tenets (that which we hold as true) of a magical life is that the inner world is a mirror for the outer world, and the outer world is a mirror for the inner world. Thus, personal practices of attunement to tools are essential to your professional growth. And likewise, the expansion of external practices with clients and increased visibility in open spaces like Instagram will bring you into more and more need for personal healing.

Through the framework of The Magician’s Table, which I will be teaching about extensively on my podcast (with exciting interviews with magical people forthcoming - EEP!), in the webinar, and as a rite of passage in our workshop circle, I will share how working with the elemental tools of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth can support you in personal and professional expansion and towards a self-claiming of this identity and calling.

At the end of March, I will hold space for a 10-week rite of passage for those who wish to go deeper here. In the space of this iteration of The Magician’s Table, participants will be initiated in and through a process of integration in order to name, know, and identify as seer, mystic, and reader.
