Through the Engineer and The Magician, this week we’re being called to look at all of our available resources for problem-solving. Can we look beyond our tools of logic and reason? Welcome everyone! For an overview of what I’m doing here, please check out
I think I need to reflect a bit more on where this asking me to go. Is it too much time in my head or too much time with my head in the clouds. Perhaps a balance of both? I’ve definitely been in more doing mode, getting loads of things done, but perhaps at the detriment of my connection to spirit. I will ponder a bit more Jenna. Thank you! xx
I am brief this week to say in all earnestness how I wish to explore this in layer upon layer. The Magician seems to hold all the cards. The Engineer seems a silent backseat to the Magician. These two seem such a complementary pair.
Jenna what an amazing combo! Makes me wonder if there is a little engineer in the magician and a little magician in an engineer. Both are making manifest something that has not been here before, whether it be from a spell or a concept in the mind. Yet I feel, as you also pointed out, that the combo actually work better together. "The wand as the pencil." In the light it feels like a great synergy of ideas and the innate capacity to listen for insight and one's intuition to bring it forward. In the shadow...now that could be dangerous.
I wonder if I'd have approached my April 1st differently if I had read your post yesterday. :-) When you see mine, I think you'll see hints of the single-minded problem-solver with cutting tools (Engineer), and maybe a little of magical thinking. I do think our two posts work well in sync this week! 😂
Thank you Jenna! This is exactly what I needed to read at the moment...
The inner engineer is busy at work, however there are things she doesn't know how to do...She is enjoying seeking help from other wise ones, however she needs to stop looking out and look within. I'll put the kettle on for the Inner Magician and we can all sit together. Thank you..
Letting magic guide me this week! I looove this pair together. Thank you so much for your ever-faithful weekly inspiration. It truly does blow my mind how your messages are literally exactly what I need. 🫶🏻💫
I've always found the three different magicians in the Thoth deck very interesting - why this card? Why #1? I've always sort of seen the Magician and the Fool as a binary pair (literally) - a framework of both optimism and determination to face the journey through the rest of the cards. Love this pairing, Jenna!
Do you have a deck with all three? That's so cool! My Thoth deck just has one Magus. But I've seen images of the other two. It seems to me like all three are various images/iconographies of Thoth himself (or Hermes Trismegistus). I agree that the Magician and Fool are binaries. I see the Fool, the zero, as infinite potential, maybe just at that moment when something is both not-form and form. And then the Magician is when that infinity has been sliced open and all form spills out. Now I'm going to see about finding a Thoth deck with all three Magician cards. 🤗
Firstly, I have never thought about being in right relationship with my tools. While I don't specifically 'do' magic and have no specific 'magic tools' I have many other tools that are magic to me which I will now approach with a new level of consciousness. Thank you for that!
This essay pretty much sums up what has been in my mind all day so I can now rest easy. ❤
This thrills me to no end, Donna! The relational way that I keep going on about is exactly this...coming to understand that we are in relationship with everything (like our tools) and not just dominating the things around us.

Yes! Tea with the Inner Magician! That sounds like an amazing way to spend an afternoon. 💕✨

I do, it's about 30 years old, I think it came standard with all 3 back then.
