Poetic Reflections on the Magician Card in Tarot
The Magician: Quickening of the Timeless Now
My heart is a heavy book with well-worn pages of spells and secrets. The scent of lilies rises from its endpapers.
The kind of change I bring is liberation from false prophets, misguided ventures, unimaginative lovers.

Choice makes up four points in the pentacle, and the fifth point is the word that changes everything. Your word is your wand and chant is the enchantment: mantra, music, manifestation. Everything is an experiment in notes and music: the treble and the clef, the vibration that occurs between cause and effect.
Desire is the most potent element in alchemy, so choose wisely what you inscribe in your book of wishes.
