I The Magus Tarot Card Meaning within the THOTH Tarot
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The Magus can skillfully master any situation that arises. Do not be afraid to take the initiative and pursue your will in this matter. This card is always a very positive sign. The Magus brings self-confidence and the ability to achieve whatever you have set out to do. You should, however, avoid attempting to force square pegs into round holes. Instead, navigate your way around seemingly impossible barriers by thinking outside the box and utilizing your unique skills. Reach into your bag of tricks because you already have the tools necessary to conquer just about anything that comes your way.
In relationships, the Magus indicates accepting one’s self and their partner for who they are as individuals. If the magus is positioned in the spread to represent the relationship as a whole, then the partnership has the ability to solve problems together. If the card’s position in the spread indicates only one of the partners, then it can signify that the individual has assumed or has been given the role of the problem solver. This is not always a bad thing, however, that person should be aware of the needs of their partner. It is possible they may be seen as overbearing and controlling. Subsequently, they should try to engage their partner in the decision making process.
If the questioner is asking things of a spiritual nature, the magus represents a breakthrough in their understanding of the nature of the universe. If they have not achieved this already, they are most likely well on their way.
Writing a definition for the THOTH deck tarot cards simply for the purpose of divination is almost doing an injustice to the complexity of its symbolism. However, it is only practical to want a concise summary of each tarot card meaning for Divination purposes. See: Tarot Card Meaning: How to Interpret Aleister Crowley tarot Cards
Love is the law, love under will.
Each trump in the Thoth deck has an associated letter from the Hebrew alphabet and either 1 of 3 primal elements, 7 holy planets, or 12 zodiac signs. In 20 of the trumps the Hebrew letter appears to the left of the card’s printed name. In 2 of the trumps, The Magus and The Moon, the letter appears to the right of the card’s name. Any ideas as to why and how these two are different together?
Thanks
