"Skill, wisdom, dexterity, flexibility, skill, cunning, deception, theft. Sometimes - occult wisdom or power, sometimes - a quick impulse, inspiration. The card can mean the message of the transaction, the intervention of scholarship or reason to discuss the case" (Aleister Crowley " The Book of Thoth "), the most important keys to understanding this card is that Crowley made it her on the cover of the deck. If the decks of the old aeon, there was a "Wheel of Fortune," because the basic idea of the last eon had been the triumph of an all-powerful and blind fate, today the principle of individuality, Mercury put at the forefront as the master of all forces: "It creates a wand. Chalice He saves. . dagger he destroys. Pantakl he redeems "(Aleister Crowley" The Book of magician). In eon winning child, the magician comprehended his true will, is able to freely create their own destiny. Crowley defines this arch, as the action and activity at all levels. He - the first breakthrough of the divine, I outside, the principle of extraversion as such the true and false, light and dark, good and evil. legends about him - is a legend about the wisdom, or of cunning, which is the two faces of one coin.

This map expresses the principle of divine play, for some unknown rules. He - she mercury, ever elusive and changing, you enemy of all statics, Mercury is the foundation of every activity of life. This - the first arhitepicheskaya idea - the idea of divine play. On the map we see a beautiful sunny young man coming out of the dark hemisphere, standing is not it one thumb, his head decorated with a triple cap, right and left side of which represented serpents, and the central pillar of the essence of the crown, which has two snakes entwine. On either side of him are the symbols of four elements - staff, dagger, cup, and the disc ("Wand creates, maintains a cup, a dagger destroys coin free") and the highest point of the map in the center of the crown, the magician shows a descending dove. At the bottom of the map shows the monster representing the lower animals, part of Mercury. If the "Fool" was still in the field, the "Magician" was freed from the power of the original scope and is already the principle of individuation. Triple Crown points to the dynamism of its nature and character of the elements, the fact that he embraces in himself each of them.

Magician or Magician is a two principles - the principle of individuation, which is based on the teachings of Jung, and the principle of divine play, located beyond good and evil. When Nietzsche's superman is defined as a child, it is obvious that he meant it arhitepicheskoe Child - divine Mercury, whom Nietzsche felt in his heart, but numerous personal layering is not allowed Nietzsche to perceive the image in its entirety. Another literary image, which can be correlated with that Arkan is laughing in the immortal "Der Steppenwolf". The main character, with all his ideas are too serious, faced with divine powers, is impressed with how they do not match his serious dramatic representations in the top. Higher, not good, not evil, it is in good and evil.

The very idea of picaresque novel, where the crafty player with the fate of easy passes strict, serious gentlemen, playing with the law, almost always with impunity. For him there is no serious, in human understanding, there is just endless and delightful game with being flirt. In order to better experience the dual nature of Arkan, I recommend a perusal of two feature of the novel - John Fowles "Magus" (also called "Magus") and Thomas Mann's masterpiece "Confessions of Felix Krull adventurer. In the novel, Thomas Mann, this represents the archetype of what is represented in all its glory. That's how Krul, deceiving the commission, in order not to be in the army (Mercury never liked Mars), offend as a rich lady who previously stole her jewelry, as a substitute for his friend, the aristocrat, and knowing only the name of Hermes, gracefully engaged in conversation the most highly educated people of the country, all these descriptions is a real art. The difference between novel by Thomas Mann, from the other picaresque novels that are beyond the action itself perfectly otrefleksirovana nature itself What does the archetype, given the magnificent appearance, where the author, on behalf of the hero reveals the deep essence, what is happening. Mann, the most subtle way, hinting that the only name that is known for its hero - Hermes, by chance, but in a sense, is his secret, magical name, a password, an expression of true nature.
