Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today: The Magician Pt. 3
With his powers the Magician holds influence over all - theory and practice, logic and emotion, thought and action. Almost every modern depiction of the Magician includes one or more symbols of infinity to denote his limitless power; the snake eating its tail and the lemniscates (horizontal figure-eight) being chief among these. This limitless power comes from sources outside his body yet under his control. And as long as the Magician remembers that this power is his to command, even if he loses all of his worldly power and skill he can never truly be called powerless. For his Will is a power that, while it can be subdued, it can never be destroyed.

More Magic
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
TODAY: Magician Pt. 2
The Magician may seem like a strange title for someone who holds real power, because the word "magician" tends to conjure up pictures of illusionists and escape artists, whose power involves sleight of hand and misdirection. The Magician, however, is similar to the stage illusionist in many ways. He is confident in his skills and his ability to produce the effects that he wants. His real power comes from sources outside of him, and he is powerless without these sources, just as an illusionist depends on people "behind the scenes". Both magician and Magician, however, are as important to their powers are the powers are to them. Without a conduit, power itself is impotent and useless.

Magic Is In The Air
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic: The Magician
The Magician's number is One, the number of creation and individuality; his power is transformation through the use of his will. In his manipulation of the basic elements into all the substances and materials of life, he shows us that from a foundation of the mundane can emerge all that is to come. He can take the Nothing from which the Fool emerged and shape it into Something, making one out of zero. Clearly this is power of a divine sort, and it is true that the Magician is a conduit for a higher power, which commands all of the material world. Since all that we can see in the physical world is the conduit himself, the acts he performs often seem like magic.
