Navigating Your Story With The Tarot Archetypes

Manifestation- The Magician

Nicole Lestrange Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode, Nicole and Rootz discuss The Magician Card and how that archetype plays out in our journey here on earth. They share personal stories and strategies like manifesting with the moon's cycles. They also suggest an animal medicine and crystal that you can use if you are looking to manifest something special into your life. 


Hi, welcome back to navigating your story with the taro archetypes. In this episode. Roots and I will be discussing the magician card. And the archetype of manifestation. For any of you that are new to taro. The magician card has the number one. And it comes after the full, in the major Arcana. In our discussion roots and I share a lot of tools and resources. That worked for us when manifesting. We also address one of the most important ingredients. To manifestation. Which is feeling worthy. I hope you find comfort in our personal stories. Of experiencing the magician archetype. So pour yourself a cup of tea or a glass of wine. As you join us for our discussion. The magician card comes after the fool. Last time we got together, we talked about the fool and now you're starting this new beginning. On the journey, the full reaches, the magician and roots. You had a really good explanation of that when the character of the full meets the magician, what do you believe happens? The fool goes ahead and shows the magician, the pack, the satchel that he's got, and the magician reveals that he in fact has all the tools that he needs to succeed in life. It's that infamous within ourselves, we already have all the tools that we need, and sometimes you need somebody else to help show us how to use our tools. And within that, there's the traditional symbols of the different elements, the wand, the sword, the chalice in the pentacle. And within there, we have all the elements, earth, air, fire, water within us as well. They may be in their seed form. And so it's just a matter of us to start to figure out how do we want to nurture these different elements within our field and within the realm that we're working in creating. Yeah. To the visualness of it, if anyone works with the wait writer, Smith doc the character, you meet the magician, the background's yellow. I'm really into the colors that show up in the background of the cards, because. They relate to our shocker system. It was not by accident that the illustration has a yellow background because when we realize that we do have these tools to bring in what we want in our life. It's connected to our personal power, to that yellow Shakur that we have, where we hold our own power to manifest what we want in this lifetime. I think sometimes we have an illusion that life is happening to. And not that we play a part in what we want to create. It's not just that life is creating everything and we're a victim to it or that we have no say. We really do in our life have more power to create what we want then I think we believe Well, I definitely believe that life happens for us and for our highest growth for our highest lessons. If anybody's ever read Sylvia Browns temples on the other side she talks about the hall of records, where we wrote down all the things that we wanted to experience. Because we decided, Hey, I want to learn compassion in this lifetime. Hey, I want to learn forgiveness will truly learn forgiveness or compassion. Okay. So you have to do you have to experience some really rough things, which then allows an activates for you to actively work on healing, those aspects, and that gives it so that life is happening for us, for our highest good, for our highest development and growth and transformation. Everything happens exactly as it is meant to. I like your part where you say, hi, life is happening for us and not to us. Just to add another book to the list of books we're mentioning. Michael Newton wrote a book journey of souls, and then he wrote destiny to souls. He was a hypnotherapist and it was by experimental illness. He would regress people to a past life. And what happened was in a past life they experienced death when he regressed them and they were talking about death and they talked about what happened after death. He realized you could regress people to talk about life in between lifetimes. What we found back to what roots was saying is through his study a lot of clients started discussing. What happens when we're not here on earth and what happens before we come back to earth. It was a lot of planning the lessons we want to learn with our spirit team. So like your spirit guides going over, like, Hey, I haven't really learned what it feels like to have compassion yet. I really want to learn this in this lifetime. When you want to learn those things, compassion sounds like an amazing thing to experience and learn on a soul level, but to experience compassion. It actually does come with pain because it's the pain that helps us then feel what compassion really is. Back to manifesting back to the. Theory that life is happening for us, that we play a part in life and creating what we have. We're not really a victim to it. Thinking about before you were coming here on earth, notice patterns in your life that you're experiencing here. Think about, wow, I've been experiencing this pattern of loss maybe you and your guides had talked about that being something you wanted to learn in this lifetime? What's dialing in for me within that is the conversation of self worth. So if you've had a bunch of loss will perhaps then you start to have this feeling of, you're never worthy of. And then to flip that script of then learning what worthiness is at least for yourself, or believing enough in yourself to know that your manifestations are coming true or to having had those experiences and to really consistently regrow and re witness your manifestations arriving for, you. I know we talked about soul manifesting but let's head over to what is it like to manifest while you're here on earth and you're like, you know what, I really want a new job or, you know, what I really want to manifest. The love of my life that I've been, waiting for and wanting so long. I've got a lot of fun stories. And I can share two specific, I know I called out for this exact energy I'd called out for a partner. I'm not sure how it ended up happening. It was like through one of the apps, whatever. And then they walked up, they showed up and we had an amazing fun time and it was great. I really just wanted a companion. That's all I called out for. It was that I wanted a companion to walk through my earth walk with, and that's what I got. Following that, I called out for a job that was going to be flexible and to work with all of my classes and other things that I was doing. And I was doing church days. I was going to Universalist church. I was Facilitating a drum circle. I was facilitating another class. Like four or five days out of the week, I had weird schedule going on. Then I got this job that was like, okay, we can fulfill all that you need. I looked at my next month and I realized that I wasn't going to have a single day off. I wasn't going to have any time off, except for doing the times. That was my times that I selected that I needed off. You gotta be mindful of what is it that you're truly saying that you're committed to, that you want, that you desire because you just might get exactly that. It's just a matter of taking the time to anchor in what is it that you desire out of a partner or say a car, if you just say, oh, I want a red car. Okay, better ride car. You'll just get a red car, but do you want a top down leather? See, you know, fast little beauty. It's so true. You could just get any red card, like a red minivan. That's a great point with manifestation is when you're looking to start manifesting, when you're looking to co-create with spirit and use your personal power within you to start bringing in what you want. You kind of get clear, you got to get clear and you gotta be specific. Just like what Ruth said, you can go, oh, I'm looking for a companion. Well, companion will show up, but maybe because you weren't specific, it might be a companion. That's really not for your highest. He certainly wasn't. You really do have to get specific and get clear with yourself. How do you think people can get clear with what they want? Well, I mean, there's the obvious of meditation Of actually being present with what's alive in your world, being present with what is it that you already have been calling in? If you're thinking about a work environment, it's just an easy thing to look at. Really look at what is it that you want out of your work? What is the frequency that you want to be a part of every day? Do you want to be in a fast paced environment? Do you want to be in a. Really impactful, like environmentally impactful situation. Getting clarity on what is it that you want. And then that's usually what will eventually show up. I've got this list of four things right here. Four essential ingredients is to have the intention focus on an asking for a desired results, take the action or a series of actions to support your intention, and then surrender releasing attachment from the timing or the form of your results. And then just trust maintaining faith. The magic is continuously at work, even when it's not obviously apparent. I'm just going to go back to a basic thing of like job hunting. Say you want a job put out the intention of what type of jobs. Go apply to a whole bunch of and would be a supporting action. And then surrender, knowing that you took the steps towards that action. That's not to say like, don't follow up or don't do the supporting actions. You got to do that. Cause the universe can only go so far. That's important to manifesting is it's your co-creating. So you can't quite just put out the intention. You have to then take the steps towards manifesting it into your reality and spirit than meets you tenfold, but you have to do your kind of. I just have to share this because it's so random, I'm drinking from a Mason jar and I just saw that it has the word magic on it. And I didn't know that there was magic Mason jars let alone that I had a magic Mason jar, let alone, we're doing the magician, which is all about magic and manifesting. Oh, that's like a huge synchronicity right there. Along with his four key steps, roots mentioned two things that are very important. One say you want to manifest the love of your life you have to not manifest a specific person. That goes with love spells and stuff like that. Cause that's, someone's free. Will. You never want to mess with someone's freewill. When you're manifesting, you're looking to say, bring in a love or romantic relationship into your life, you have to steep what you want, but not a specific person, like not Henry down the street that you fell in love with. And I actually, guys, I really think I manifested my husband. I am really good at manifesting love somehow. It only was when I got clear on what I wanted and my self worth that my husband stepped into my life. But for example, I had a really long commute to my job. I would get in the car every morning and I would say, You want to say stuff as if it's in the present moment as if it's already happening, because that helps you align with bringing it in. So another key tip for everyone when you're manifesting, say it as if you already have it. Okay. Words are really powerful and roots is, has a speciality in that. But anyways, I would get in my car and I would drive and call in my guides, I'd call on my spirit guides. And I would say everything is, if it was in the present moment, so I'd be like, oh, I'm in love with a man. And he's my age or a little older, what I give to the relationship I receive in return. I love cuddling. So I would say we cuddle all the time. We're very sensitive to each other's feelings. We love to laugh. I even said everyone because I was just like, let's go universe. Let's go to like what I'm really into. So I even said, I was like, he has an accent. He doesn't smoke cigarettes cause I wasn't into that. And honestly, my husband's from England. He doesn't smoke cigarettes. He loves cuddling. We laugh all the time. He's my best friend. What I give I re receive. That's a great example of how specific you need to be. And then here's my next tip at the very end of saying what you're looking for. You always want to say. This or something better. Oh yeah. Because our human minds can't fathom that there could be something better out there than what we're already listing. So always end saying this or something better. Yeah I love that. Knowing you and your partner that just makes that even more juicy to know it was an intentional calling. It was an intentional, I want this energy in my life let's make it happen. We've all had the relationships that didn't work, right. Perhaps it was meant to not work, perhaps it was meant to not last for forever, but rather just to give us the excuse. And the reason why I'm saying that is cause sometimes we'll include a type of like shame or fear or guilt as part of the, oh, well I'm not worthy of this. So instead accept it as a neutral experience. That was just a thing that happened. And I learned from it and I'm that much stronger now. Now I am loving, I'm deserving of love. I desire, love. And so I'm calling in love and my love looks like XYZ. And I love that you were like down to the doesn't smoke cigarettes. It was so specific, so there's another key ingredient. Say we're making food right now out of manifesting. There's this big stew happening and keep adding these pool ingredients to manifest what we want. You mentioned something huge. If anyone knows the weight Smith magician card, it goes back to that yellow background, which goes to our solar Peck, says, which is all about I am worthy. So if you feel like you're not worthy of this. And so I'm going to give everyone an example. I have been for two years manifesting a child my husband and I, we have some infertility and being someone who's really good at manifesting, you would think I wouldn't manifest it really quickly, but I haven't manifested it yet. One because the divine timing. And two, if I can be completely honest, I have to do a lot of work on feeling worthy. And the baby for me is related to my relationship with my body. I always saw myself as a sickly person because when I was younger, I got really sick and the baby hasn't come yet. My manifesting hasn't worked yet because I haven't felt worthy of it. I haven't felt healthy for it. Now I'm a huge advocate of counseling. So I've actually come really far in my journey. And I'm getting to the point where I'm actually starting to feel worthy of this, but that's a big, big ingredient. Everyone, when you are looking for that new job, if you want to bring in that romantic love, you are manifesting will only go so far. If you truly don't believe that you're worthy of having it all. Absolutely. Make sure you add that piece and if you feel unworthy with something, hi, I'm a huge advocate of counseling. Is there something you do to help you When there's a pattern happening in your life and you want to make a change, but you know, the block is you feel unworthy. What's interesting is as you know, in, and some of the other people in the audience knows I've been doing a program called the landmark forum. I would suggest is get coaching because it's often through recognizing that, Hey, I'm having a limitation here. I'm running up against this brick wall. How could I move past it? I've found that to be more helpful for me. This type of coaching is more like, okay, now how can we use the distinctions? The words that we've already created Then have the power within yourself to move through any challenges and obstacles. It's really finding your path of human, but we're just throwing out suggestions and resources for. One of the biggest things that I have to just share that's like this is super important is to actually get back out with people, you know, especially if it's like in an unstructured space where you're just able to be present with yourself and you're starting to notice like what's alive for you and you'll be able to move through. I have a fun little tip if you were looking to do some manifesting with the phases of the moon, the new moon is a great place to start. That is because it is the time when the moon really isn't showing up in the sky. It's a clear surface, and that's when you're going to want to plant your seeds. On a new moon night, say, you want to bring in passionate love, get a red candle. And on the new moon night, light the candle calling your spirit team and have fun with it. Say what your intention is then blow out the candle. Then every day with that cycle, you can light your candle each night, say your intention and blow it out. What you're going to notice is the moon obviously gets bigger and bigger. It goes from new moon to wax. To the full moon and then back to waning. The moon is going to mirror the growing of your intention, the growing of your manifestation. When you then go from the waxing and you see the moon growing, you'll reach the full moon in that month. And that's a good time for gratitude. So when you reach the full moon, you just share gratitude that night with everything that you already have, because when you're manifesting, you want to also see the glass half full, not half empty because you start to align with abundance. So the full moon is a wonderful time to invite that candle and then speak to the moon, speak to your spirit team, and it can be five or 10 minutes. Okay. I am so grateful for the passion I currently feel with my dog, you know, because if you're trying to manifest passion of a romantic person in your life, you'd be like with my dog. I'm so grateful for the passion. I feel when I dress in these colors and I feel love in my life. So share on the foaming, what you already have and then as it wanes, that is a good time to go back within and go within yourself, meditate and get clear on what you want for the next new moon. Now, something interesting is that if you want to manifest on a new moon, if you want to put your seeds of intention into the universe, pay attention to what sign the new moon is in. If the new moon is in, say Virgo and I am no astrologer everyone, but I'm just a little familiar. So feel free to correct me if you want. But say the new moon's in Virgo, that is a really good time for getting things organized and clear. You can use that energy to help you with that seed when Virgo is in a full moon. And I don't know how long that takes. I don't know if it's six months or 12 months, but pay attention to when the full moon is in Virgo. That's a really good time to see how far you've come in your manifestation, because it works with the new moon in Virgo. That was maybe six months. And it listens to your intention for when the full moon in Virgo is there. So you're going to get a really good like I want to say, chunk of your manifesting done by the time Virgo is in the full moon. Just the thing to think about. Yeah. Actually I really liked that you brought up that the new moon and full moon will often be the six months apart. And it's important to remember that, you know, we're not talking about instant manifestation, although sometimes that does happen sometimes and sometimes it does, but the point is, is to cast your spell or set your intention and surrender it to the universe. Right. Not caught up in that. It's supposed to look and be a certain way or show up by a certain time. It's just going to show up exactly as it's going to show up. And yet know that it will be there exactly when you need it to be there. And not a moment beforehand universe has a cosmic joke like that. It really does. And it's true. It's, it's back to that divine timing. And again, I've been trying to manifest a child for two years, but the divine timing isn't quite there yet. So th this last year with are going through this, we had recognized that there was something else blocking you with that wasn't that the, this podcast I know, probably because this podcast is healing for us too. So I'm like, oh my God. Yeah. I think there might've been, but, you know, I can't remember. I remember pointing at something that maybe there was a limitation within your own belief structure at that moment. But I don't remember when or where it was because. I don't either, but I do know that on my journey with it, it's definitely been my relationship with feeling that my body is strong, like not strong and like, I'm going to go lift a ton of weights, but just simply strong as it's healthy and I'm worthy of a healthy body and bringing in a child. So I know that's where my limitations has been. I wonder if we had talked about that probably. Who knows. Are you currently looking to manifest anything roots? The thing I'm working on manifesting is more concentration and creating spaces where I'm less distracted so that I really can focus on what it is that I'm working on creating. I have to ask because we've been talking about about the limited belief that blocks us in the manifestation process and it's to address it. Do you have any limited beliefs around. Being focused and organized and accomplishing what you sent out for. I do, because I feel like, who am I to create something? Why am I worthy? What is it that I'm offering that is worthwhile? These are all the self-worth conversations that we all go through, but that's just where I happen to be exploring and not beating myself up because, Hey, I'm a humanoid experience having a humanoid experience and that's just part of it. For everyone in the audience, something I learned as we're talking is when you're about to manifests, get clear on what you want and then get clear on is there any limited beliefs. That might block you from it that you need to at least accept and be aware of. When they're hanging out in our shadow, these limited beliefs, like to be honest, my limited belief of my body not being strong and healthy, it's been around since I was a kid, but it's always been in my shadow and it's not until we bring it to the light that we can then transform it. It does a lot of it does a lot of dirty work in the shadow. Okay. We let it run free range. We're like, okay, you do your thing. I don't want to dress you yet. I'm scared of you. I don't want you to come near me. But then when we do that, we give it more power. And when we bring that belief into our light and our consciousness, and we're aware of it, oh, you can do a lot of healing and just that step, just that step. Roots, you have a crystal that helps people with manifesting. Can you tell us a little bit about that? This week we'll focus on using tiger PSI for tigers. I, as a very grounded. Stone and the shininess of it brings us to that reflection of the divine light, echoing through us. And in that way, it can create this grounding sensation that we really can have what we desire to create. And it's important for us to just remember that as the sun shines it doesn't hit every part throughout the day, but it's important that it keeps coming back day after day after day. And so as long as we're focusing back on our project, similarly, that's how the tigers, I can help us remember everything in life is intention base and intention oriented. So as long as we are resetting reworking our intentions, that everything can help. It's a favorite one. I'm actually playing with one of my molars that have Tiger's eye on it. If you got really clear and wrote on a piece of paper, you know, I just keep doing the romantic love, but you could be like kind of what I did, you know he doesn't smoke cigarettes. What I bring to the relationship, he gives me in return. And then fold that paper and put a Tiger's eye on it, you are doing extra manifestation. So Tiger's eye is wonderful for manifesting. The animal medicine that I think is a great one to call upon when you're working with manifestation, when the magician is showing up in your life is Crow, spirit. The Crow represents the magic of the universe and the animal medicine and CRO is all about co-creating with spirit. I haven't offered it yet, but maybe I'll put it on my website. I take Teddy Andrew's animal medicine cards, and I do a total. It's a really cool way to learn your own unique medicine and the animals that work with you in your life journey here. So let me just read to you what CRO medicine is, and simply you can draw a Crow on that piece of paper with the Tiger's eye, you can ask her spirit to be with you, look for Crow around you. If you're walking and you see a Crow connect with it, cause they really are all about the magic of the universe. Okay. As you look around. Can you sense the magic that pulses through the world? Have you witnessed how every thought can become a thing? How every intention can call the universe into action as the sacred laws shape, what you experience the universe works in perfect order. When you align your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with spirit, you will want to Crow with delight, feeling the excitement and the wonder of being in harmony with something much larger than yourself. CRO spirits says you were right on target now to see your dreams magically come into being in the visible world, the law of abundance compensation, frequency. Are operating in your favor. Now, remember to be grateful and praise. What is yours? Even if it is still coalescing into form, still residing in the invisible realm of co-creation, no matter what area of your life you're connected with now, what you hope for is on its way for spirit is your co-creation partner. This came from the spirit of animal Oracle. So just wanted to share that. We have a special guest joining us for our discussion. Her name is Gilly spelled G I L L Y. And she is an intuitive musician. That does taro an angel card readings. If you want to work with her. Check out her Instagram page. Gilly been taro. Hi Kelly. Hello, Nicole. Hello roots. Thank you for a lovely. Oh, this is amazing. Thanks for being here and everyone, she's also a part of the taro inti collected. Okay. I just wanted to share how a few years ago I was really quite keen on getting a gig in a particular venue that I was interested in working in. And I went to the actual venue and I couldn't get past the door. They wouldn't let me in. And I was like, okay, not to be. And time went on and life moved on and I got hired to play for a gig at Christmas time and it was canceled due to on recon. Then they contacted me again and said, oh, we're going to do our Christmas. Give, give a little later than we said, He is the venue. And the venue was the place that I knocked on the door up to try and get into being barred from years ago. And I ended up doing the gig last week and the people in the venue have asked me to go and do a trial there to play for them regularly. And I just think it's so funny how that wasn't really ready to go until the universe decided, I had to step away from my fixation on, I want to work in here when you let go of it. It turned up anyway. And that was such a lovely form of manifestation that came through in my life. And I also want to say to Nicole as well regarding manifesting your child. I have a friend who manifested her baby Year ago now had her daughter came into this world and she connected with her baby's soul before it came to be. She actually did a very similar thing to what you were saying regarding finding your husband. It was a similar thing of focusing on the qualities and the vision she had of who her child would be. And by doing that, she actually created a portal for this little one to come through a site. Those are just the two things I wanted to share. Oh, the one that's an amazing tip for me. So thank you for sharing that about your friend. I might try that and see if I can connect and understand because back to the whole manifesting, when you're manifesting. You know, a romantic person or a baby or something, you're also working with someone else's free will. And so it would be interesting for me to connect and see her or he, or, you know, nowadays they, who knows what they want to share with me about them coming into this or. I have a question for you. I love the story of this venue and how prior you had tried and you couldn't even get through the door and then now they're open to receiving you and you might be going every week. Do you believe that story was more about the divine timing and when it was right for you? Looking back on it, what is your reason for why you think you couldn't get through the door in the BK. It's a very good question. I think it was not the right time and that the conditions and the circumstances all right now, and it's interesting because I am in a stage where I'm focusing on manifesting ways where I can be more in service with music. It's a shift from where I was. It's definitely an art level. it's a direction that's sort of on the plane where I have been for a long time, but it's going to create. Some of the abundant soluble require to manage, to manifest. What's really falling my heart, which is creating music in circumstances that touches people's hearts and souls without alcohol involved, which is a big thing that I'm really coding in creating fully conscious environments to share means a can. That sounds so beautiful and I just want everyone in the audience to realize that the thing that you want to do and now you're like really craving and you're like, oh, I know this isn't something that people might be used to. You're getting called to do it. You gotta do it. And so this whole creating an environment for music with out that alcohol where it's really this encompassing experience. It's going to be exactly what people are looking for. The right people are going to show up to that. So can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Gilly, just cause you're up here and I know you work with music and I know you're an intuitive what are some things you offer and how could someone find you if they want to hear you or work with you? Thank you, Nicole. I'm a musician. I channel music has come through me. I've been doing that since I was four years old. And I've been working in many environments of music over the years, including hospitals, where I used to play for people who were bursting or transitioning and everything in between. And it was upset, incredible witnessing what music did as. A carrier of energy through very intricate and very powerful and also deeply intimate situations. So that was really something. I'm also a tarot reader. I do a room called focus, loving intention on Sundays, where we play 10 minutes of meditation music for us to send out a focus, loving intention statement for someone on our stage. So you can see me in that room on a Sunday, you can contact me through the link tree link above for any of the things that I have available. And yeah, I just love combining music and tarot together or doing music work and create something for somebody as well. Music is so healing and I love how it's now being incorporated. We need a sing again. We need to heal again through music, so thank you, Kelly. Before we wrap up, I just wanted to mention Ganash Whenever I called it's like obstacles are removed and I feel like I'm heading more towards my manifestation. For anyone who doesn't know Ganash he is a Hindu God, and he's the remover of obstacles. If you were looking to work with him he loves red hibiscus tea. You can always use that as an offering. Whenever I call him, I'm telling you things start moving a little more quicker, so feel free to use him, give him some red hibiscus tea. But he will definitely help you remove those limited beliefs that you're looking to put down. Just wanted to put that out there. He's also one of my absolute favorites. There's a quote that says no obstacles that are set before you are obstacles that you cannot handle. Know that anything that's before you, if you just ask for assistance and ask for guidance on how to move through it, it'll show up. Don't forget your own powerful beings. Thank you for listening to our episode. We hope that it was healing in brought you an understanding of the magician archetype in Tara. Here are some takeaway questions to ask yourself.
