# THE MAGICIAN
The Magician stands in a white robe, symbolizing purity, and a red cloak, symbolizing power, and knowledge. In one hand, he holds a double-ended candle as a wand pointing to the heavens. The other hand points to the Earth, a sign of bringing manifestations to reality and reminding, “as above, so below.” On the table in front of him are the symbols of the tarot suits—a pentacle, cup, sword, and wand—exhibiting that he has all the tools at his disposal to create magic and manifest. Red roses, representing desire, and white lilies, representing thought, surround him. Over his head is an infinity symbol and around his waist is an ouroboros belt, both symbolizing infinity and unlimited potential. The Magician reminds us that we have everything we need to manifest our desires.
