The Magician
Unlike the more common interpretation of the Magician, the Ravens approach magic, synchronicity and transformation from a very different perspective. They are tricksters. They understand that few willingly enter into times of change unless they are forced (or tricked) into it. The average person works against their own self-interest, clinging to known pains rather than facing the unknown.
The ravens are both captivated by the new and shiny, but they collect unexpected treasures from what others overlook as trash or discards. Their pearls of wisdom embody that.
They nest in the branches of the world tree, Yggdrasil. They make their home in the space that interpenetrates and traverses all worlds. They live where the shaman and all practitioners of magic need to work: straddling the boundaries between the physical world and other worlds.
The bark of the Yggdrasil is a kaleidoscope of swirls and pentacles and all the representations of the elements for it is made up of all the forces of creation... the forces the magician must contend with, draw power from, and master.
A card of communication, inspiration, limitless potential and of the power of action. The magician is not just a sage, who collects knowledge for knowledge's sake, but who uses what he has to take action in the worlds. He is the catalyst of change... whether through force or guile is up to him.
