I have not written a blog post recently, because I’ve been tremendously busy, as I’m working to put my clinic business together, and I want to take this moment to remember – that I walk with magic in the world. Aye, the world is full of different types of people, and there are many ways to understand the patterns that affect people. Let’s take for instance, The Major Arcana. We might look at The Major Arcana as a story of a journey: a journey of the Fool, and that fool learns many things on his journey, and he meets a lot of different types of people. Of all the people the fool meets, the magician is the first. The fool passes by the magician. The fool passes by magick before he encounters the rest of the world, and there are certain catalytic experiences in our lives that change who we are – sometimes it’s hard to tell when that change will happen, but you can put yourself in a place where it will happen. The magician stands first, as a guide, friend, and teacher, and he stands before many colorful characters who sell their wares throughout the land. We might say that the magician comes first, because magic comes first, and because magic is a part of the rest of the world. Aye, we need building blocks before we can walk down a bridge. The hierophant knows a certain type of magic, even before he wrapped that magic in a little cardboard box and sold it to the rest of the world. And the alchemist has her magic, and the hermit has his magic, and…all the people of the world have that magic within them. Now there are some magicians people gaze upon with wide eyes. As the magician walks with tremendous power, the people ask for him for aid and benediction, and they marvel at his fireworks, and they tell stories about his arcane gifts. And yet…the truly adept magician is the one who brings out the magic in others. The baker who kneads his bread learned his magic. And there is magic in the whistling trees, and we remember that they have a beautiful and ancient language, and the crow watches over her eggs in the nest. And that deep calm – the sea breeze has her own way of doing things, and the surfer has her own way of doing things, and together they are purple and blue colors turning over one another. They say, just keep swimming. Indeed, that magician has a lot of things he says to us. Sometimes it’s possible to say a lot of things in few words. The fool speaks few words on his journey. On that same note, there’s a country on this planet named “Iceland” and it’s funny that it’s named that, because there are other countries that have far more ice than Iceland. Wherever you go, there are all kinds of interesting things like that, and there are interesting people, including interesting people in Iceland, and all around the world, there are people who have great magic and yet they sit in lawn chairs and live in pink mobile homes. I’m sure you’ve seen the magician somewhere. Like I was saying, I’ve been putting my clinic business together, so I don’t have so many words to share right now, and I hope you are enjoying the day or evening wherever you are. I’ve been awefully busy. I’m looking forward to sharing many blog posts with you in the future. And in case anyone was wondering, Aunt Ylma does indeed make a good casserole.
