Chicago Gnosis Podcast The Eternal Tarot of Alchemy and Kabbalah 01 The Magician
Every cosmos, whether macrocosmic (universal) or microcosmic (within the human being) is based upon divine, eternal laws, the latter being systematically represented within the tarot. The Magician is the divine masculine principle that initiates any endeavor, specifically in relation to the path of initiation: the induction into a higher way of spiritual being and the complete development of one's true human potential.
Learn how to become a practical magician: a being who fulfills the divine will for the benefit of others. This is accomplished by harnessing one's creative energies and conquering the lower, conditioned, and negative qualities of one's psyche. A magician is capable of consciously controlling the elements, not only physical, but energetic, emotional, mental, and volitional as well. The Magician of the First Arcanum therefore represents our own inner divinity who must command our interior universe, but for Him to do so, we must learn to cooperate so as to be a suitable vessel for Him.
