I - The Magus

Drawn as comment regarding coming back to this forum.
Everyone is unique, with their own particular life experiences, ideas and talents. Don’t hold back out of politeness, follow your own path.
On the sex forum I’ve joined recently I’ve used the name Serpentwand from the anagram of my full name, “Joy high serpent wand”, and here it is on this card. The wand with crossed snakes suggests the interplay and integration of two complementary energies - the conscious and subconscious, intellect and instinct, the light and dark sides of personality.
My current 2dogs username links to a related idea in the quote I found some years ago from Sitting Bull - ”Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most”. That suggests though that the energies are in a conflict and life is a battle between them which can only have one victor.
I’m not keen on that view of life any more, the phoenix headed rod on this card suggests renewal, burning the old self and starting afresh, a new birth. I feel it would be appropriate to change my username on here as well, reinforce this idea.
Interestingly the avatar I’ve been using here for years is of the planet Mercury, also strongly associated with this card - not an accurate one but an impossible conception from the imagination of an artist in the 1920s, a dream they captured on paper which is still in existence nearly a century later.
