Magician Tarot Card Needlepoint Canvas

Tarot is a card-based divination tool dating back to France in the late 1700s. Using archetypes and themes universal to the human experience, Tarot is popular for its use as a tool of self-discovery and introspection. While many people think that its use is for telling fortunes and predicting the future, Tarot is commonly used as a tool of reflection and insight.

While stitching the cards won’t give you a reading, stitching the cards may give you the opportunity to sit in reflection on the archetype before you.

Here is the Magician! While the High Priestess represents the hidden spiritual world and the inner power and knowledge we can find in the unseen, subconscious realm, the magician represents the influence we have in the tangible world. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a piece of art to create, a shiny new toy that you want. The magician will not wave a magic wand to give it to you, but he will remind you that you already have the wisdom, insight, skills, and abilities to reach those goals. The magician reminds us we have confidence, willpower, diplomacy, and courage to create whatever change we need to in our world.

The symbols in the image help convey the meaning. The magician’s hands are pointed up to the sky and down to the ground, representing connection to both the spiritual and physical realms. This relationship helps us as we pursue our goals - spiritual and physical and mental health are all tended to. The Magician’s inner robe is white, representing purity, while the outer cloak is red, representing worldly knowledge - again, a balance. On the table in front of him are symbols of the suits of tarot as well as the four elements. All of the tools to achieve our goals are gathered and ready for use. The infinity symbol is above his head, reminding us of unlimited potential. Lush flowers and foliage grow around him, symbolizing how our goals and dreams can flourish and bloom.
