What an interesting pairing. Nauthiz with The Magician for this Thorsday's rune and tarot pull.
The magician is a card of will and creating our reality. It is the card of will and diplomacy. The magician has all the tools at his disposal to overcome any obstacles. He is will and power made whole on the physical plane.
Today's rune is Nauthiz, it is a rune of will but a necessity to overcome obstacles. When this rune appears it can translate to great power in the face of adversity.
Seems like a perfect pairing for Thorsday's rune pull.
Thoughts on This Pairing
I love when objects of divination pair up like this. The magician is such a powerful card. It is the ace of the major arcana. The first card in the deck after the fool who starts at zero. As the fool starts his journey, the first character he comes across is the magician. He teaches the fool about will and determination and how to focus his energies where they are needed most. We all have the power of the magician if we just open ourselves up and allow the universe to fill us with its magick.
Nauthiz is a rune of obstacles but also great will and determination. It is the rune of overcoming obstacles. It seems like the perfect pairing with the Magician card of the major arcana.
Although we face many obstacles in life, it is always important to remember to stay focused, stay positive, and stay determined. As the great magician Aleister Crowley taught, WILL is the greatest power of all. We must always have the will to move forward, overcome our obstacles, and face diversity head-on. I always associate The Magician with Crowley and his teachings.
Just yesterday, in my dream, I dreamt that I was doing a tarot opening, which is not usual for me, and I opened only 2 cards. I don't remember why, but I remember exactly which cards they were.
The magician and the Queen of cups. These coincidences can be frightening at some point for someone who is almost a new beginner. 😂
When I put it all aside, thank you. 💫
Over the years, I've had many interesting coincidences or synchronicities with the cards. It's interesting how certain cards seem to appear at certain times.
I think it just goes to show, that there really is more to this stuff than meets the eye. I've gotten serious chills doing some readings. Sometimes, that's exactly how I know I'm on point or reading the cards accurately. I always trust those chills and the sensations I'm feeling while reading the cards.
I experience this situation a lot in Turkish coffee fortune telling, which I am "gifted" according to my father. If I feel that shiver in my brain, I think I am on the right track.
I don't know if you are interested in or know anything about numerology, but mine is 11 and my 10th house is scorpio in my horoscope placements. My dad and my Numerologist friend always say that I am a lucky "sweetie" 😂.
I used to joke with them a lot about it before I started Tarot but after Tarot, things changed completely. Since then I take it seriously these kind of things.
I began to think that such coincidences were something not to be joked about.
Sorry for the late reply. Took a social media break over the weekend. I learned the basics of numerology just for how they relate to tarot. 11 is always a powerful number, I think I have an 11 in my name if I recall correctly.
I think everyone should take a social media break once in a while, congratulations for being able to do that. It's a very difficult thing to do nowadays.
Yes, as far as I know, 1, 11, 22 and 33 are powerful numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in your name, we usually have Tarot-like tendencies, even if we don't know our number.
