WHO IS THIS ARCHETYPE:

The Magician knows how to create structures where magic can happen within. The containers he works within can be mental, emotional, physical and even energetic. He accepts the mystery of the mutative process and trusts that transformation is occurring within him and in the world around him.

The Magician understands the laws of the universe and how to manifest on the material plane. 

He lets in new inspirations and works with the tools he already has—merging the laws of the world of form with the magic of the world of light.

Internal Motivator: 

Bringing lasting changes into the world

Achilles Heel:

Can’t control when mutation is going to happen

Melancholy about having nowhere to go

Positive Attributes:

Trust

Innovation

Manifestation

Repressive Nature:

Unstructured

They have a fear of structure and commitment and because of this are never involved in anything that is lasting in their life. When they cant commit to a kind of structure -- like family, relationships, business, environment -- then there isn't a container that allows for the magic and transformation to happen. Their life force and internal magic is wasted and dispersed in all directions.

Reactive Nature:

Rigid, Controlling

This is when creativity and life force are stifled. When they adhere to strict rules and structure for their lives then they don't allow any room for growth or opportunity. If the container they create is too rigid then nothing new and expansive can occur in their lives. If there is too much pressure, limitation and control in any area of their life then all magic is sucked from the container. They fall into a kind of monotonous and SAFE existence. They cannot trust the natural flow of life so they try to control it.

Where Limitation Can Shows Up in Life:

Religious Institutions - creating moral laws for "getting into heaven" and creating a middleman between Man and God.

Homogenization in Schools - forcing children to sit down all day, listen and the regurgitate facts

Political Parties - who resist change, progressive ideas and movements

Examples of Sacred Containers for Creating Magic:

Woodwind Instruments (flute, horn) - you blow air in the vessel and music comes out

Beaker (science) - for creating chemical reactions

A River Bank - for directing the power of a river

A Uterus - for creating life

A Car Engine - for powering the car
