Rachel Pollack's Shining Tribe - The Magician<\/p><\/div>\n

This Magician is not a stage magician, not a trickster; this Magician has a deep and profound connection with the earth, air, fire, and water pictured, and has the knowledge – and wisdom – to use them to create magic.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when we want to make a change – even a positive, welcome change – part of ourselves is frightened because we get caught in “what if?”.\u00a0 What if it doesn’t work? What if I look like an idiot? What if it all goes incredibly wrong, and I’m not as smart as I think I am, and I can’t manage the process?<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling stuck, caught in the “what if”, take time to meditate on what is working. What elements are at your disposal?\u00a0 What resources – external and internal – are available to you?\u00a0 Does someone have something you need?\u00a0 Can someone help? Ask. Just ask.\u00a0 Even if the answer is “no”, you may find an alternate source.\u00a0 But if you don’t ask, the answer is always “no”.<\/p>\n

If we wait until we have all the answers to the “what if” questions, we’ll never take action.<\/p>\n

Instead, put on your Robes of Wisdom, your Mask of Confidence, take a deep breath, and do it<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What magic can you create today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
