Angel Paths for September 22 - The Magus (Magician)
msesheta
The Magus
The Magician is normally numbered one and is
sometimes called the Magus. The Magician is
usually depicted as a powerful adept, a master
of the four elements. He is able to shift events
in his favour - to make the World change around
him according to his Will.
He is highly skilled, highly powerful and hence
a highly dynamic and charismatic figure. He is
that part of us which we harness to control our
own lives. When we are the Magician we make what
we want happen.
However, you can be sure that we receive exactly
what we ask for - "be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it"! The Magician knows where
to throw the pebble into the pool of the
Universe in order to get exactly the ripples he
wants. If we choose happiness and joy and put
our Will behind them, that is what we can
achieve.
Working with The Magus
The Magus, at his highest level of
interpretation, indicates the intricate and
complex web of influences that binds the
Universe to itself, and to all else. This is
essentially a card about communication, but on
the subtle levels beyond the material world.
If you want to manifest your heart's desire into
the mundane world, you will have to come to
terms with the actuality, the workings and the
efficient manipulation of this web,
understanding its laws and vagaries.
This web is what causes so-called
'coincidences', or those freak connections that
we make right when we most need them. It is this
system that brings the teacher to the student at
exactly the right time, puts the very book we
need on the bookshelf just when we needed it,
draws the right person into our lives at the
opportune moment.
You can see, therefore, how essential it is if
you want to achieve your highest possible
destiny, that you develop your understanding of
the web of life. And in so doing, become a magus
of sorts yourself.
So on a day ruled by the Magus, we need to be
experimenting with the way this web works. We
need to look at the thoughts we are transmitting
ourselves - because what goes around comes
around, remember? What we put out eventually
finds its way back to us - coloured by
everything it has touched along the way. This is
the single most practical reason for positive
thinking!!
We need to consider our overall direction and
the things we are doing to fulfil our
aspirations. We need to look at how every single
action we take can be made into an act of
magick. People miss this concept all the time.
Yet holding the idea in the forefront of your
mind changes the way that you approach your
daily activities.
So acting with intent is another thing we can
practise on the day of the Magus. For instance,
if you cook a meal, cook it with the intention
that it will sustain the very spirit of those
who eat it. If you do the washing up, do it
remembering that you are washing away the stains
of the world. If you are driving to see a
friend, regard the journey as another step in
your growth and development. Get the idea?
Practise everything with intent. From personal
experience, let me tell you it really gets the
mundane stuff done quickly, efficiently and with
a full heart.
Also when working the affirmation for today,
remember one thing - if you aren't happy with
your life the way you've made it so far, the
Magus releases the power within you to make it
something happier and more satisfying. All you
have to do is begin........
Affirmation: My life is everything I make it.
