Quantum Tarot - I The Magician (The Electromagnetic Force)

This card from my deck, the Quantum Tarot, illustrated by Chris Butler.  It will be published by Kunati in September 2008

The Quantum Magician is the Electromagnetic Force, encompassing the whole spectrum of different rays, including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, gamma rays, X-rays, radio waves and microwaves.
The Magician manipulates and formulates energy, making the invisible visible. He has the ability to make something out of nothing - to act creatively - which can seem magical from the outside. He brings consciousness and illumination to mystery, acting as a bridge between the inchoate sea of the unconscious, and material reality. Whenever we create anything we invoke the Magician archetype.

Magician Questions:  What is forming in your life? What are you making a reality? What reality are you making?

Magician Things to Do:  Keep a diary. Cook a meal. Close the curtains, lock the doors and dance to your favourite music. Give someone a gift that you made yourself.

Magician Quotes: Magic and all that is ascribed to it is a deep presentiment of the powers of science. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Has the world ever been changed by anything save the thought and its magic vehicle the Word?
Thomas Mann

We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life, it is because we tire of our responsibility. Cyril Connolly

Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem. Brian Aldiss
