The Magician in fiber arts gifts us with willpower, intention, and resourcefulness as we knit, crochet, spin, or weave our visions into being. And yet, we know that every gift, when misused, can cast a shadow. In this post, we explore both the Gifts and Shadows of the Magician and why understanding both is essential. When we lean into the Magician’s strengths without awareness, we risk becoming consumed by our own drive to create. We want to invite the gifts without being lost in the shadows.

Join me as we meet The Magician—resourceful, willful, and ready to transform vision into reality. In the fiber arts, this archetype appears when we move from idea to action, shaping yarn into something real. This post is the first in a three-part series exploring the Magician’s magic, symbolism, and creative power in our hands.

Join me as I share my reflections on the cards of the Tarot, beginning with the Major Arcana and the stories they tell. I consider how they echo our relationship with our craft and the rhythms of our creative lives.
