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.
