Manifestation, Clarity, Creative Power, Focus

In the background, a historical map of the Wetterau region and the County of Hanau (1728) alludes to origin and orientation on new paths. At the center, two floating hands meet in the classical gesture “As above, so below” – a symbol of the connection between spirit and matter, idea and manifestation.

The magician’s hat with rabbit ears stands for creativity, surprise, and the potential to bring forth something new. Geometric forms and the four elements symbolize the Magician’s tools. The rune Laguz, the number 1, the zodiac signs Gemini and Virgo, and the planet Mercury refer to intuition, new beginnings, clarity, and creative intelligence.

This interpretation of “The Magician” emphasizes focus, the conscious use of one’s own talents, and the power to transform ideas into reality.
