This is the second card of the Tarot Deck. The Fool Starts at Zero Because it's the absolute beginning, and the First numbered card is This, The Magician. Upright Meaning: First steps towards the beginning. The Magician is not s spell casting entertainer, but more of a Shaman. The cloak, wand, and sword are it's tools. The Magician signifies your state of preparation towatds you newest goal. Ready for anything. Reversed Meaning: Inability to look forward. When you're so obsessed with the things that lead up to where you are, that you cannot see ahead of you. If there's a problem you couldn't fix before, there's nothing saying you can't try and fix it now. You're letting your powers fo to waste. P.S. This is also a tribute card to my late pet bunny. She died of a terrible infection, and a later cancer diagnosis sealed her fate. She was put down pecefully... I will miss her very much. I put her here because you don't always see a magician without they're classic albino rabbit.

Bun Bun? You should check out the webcomic Sluggy Freelance. It features a pet bunny named Bun Bun, although I'm sure your bunny was much nicer than him 2
Great pic!

This is really nice. I love the detail, it is a great idea for a magician card. I would love to own a tarot deck that looks as beautiful as this. I too had a bunny named Bun Bun. He was a stuffed animal but still very loved. The maid stole him at a hotel in Las Vegas when I was younger.

Do you mean Druid by shaman? 1

:-) Claudia Marlene Meisters replies: "indeed that is one way to interpret the card. I liked the idea of a druid's cloak because that gives the magic in the magician a more earthy feeling to him/her. 2"
