Aldor44 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Hey all! So, I have recently done a deck interview ( the Wild Unknown) as lately I have been drawn to more Pip-ish decks ( and am afraid to go all in and just grab a Marseille deck). My final question was- What is the potential energy of our working relationship? The answer was RX magician- which usually indicates deceit, loss of power, dis-empowerment, weak or over-inflated ego etc... Am REALLY baffled about this answer- does it mean we SHOULDNT work together? Would LOVE to hear your thoughts...
joy Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Hey @Aldor44I just found an interesting post on the Wild Unknown deck's magician. https://carriemallon.com/blog/the-magician-wild-unknown-tarot-card-meanings/ This sentence: "This Magician is proud and alert; he has a powerful stance and his gaze is focused." caught my eyes. As the card was RX I would think it should be the opposite. Meaning let go, go with the flow. In my opinion the Wild Unknown is quite a different deck. And maybe that is what this card is trying to tell you. To let go of all you know and be more intuitive instead of focused on what you know?

DanielJUK Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 In some of the LWB's and bigger book for Wild Unknown, Kim actually states that she doesn't have an intention for using the deck reversed. This is because it was made as an upright energy. But I have used them reversed as well as I use them in my own way 🙂 Thinking of the Magician generally, it's about manifestation and having the tools to make something happen and reversed I think it means no action to get ahead or getting nowhere! Thirteen back on AT said the upright is about infinite possibilities and the reversal becomes empty promises. Her take on it is here Upright The Magician puts on a magic show with their little table and the tools they have. But reversed they are deceptive, manipulative and full of deceit. I read somewhere once they are the Used Car Salesperson who sells you a bad car. Look at the bluetooth audio and heated seats and then it has a failing engine and falling off exhaust! In terms of your new deck, I would say that it won't work out the way it should, it won't allow your skills and reading ability to work out to the full ability. It won't give it's full potential to you for some reason.

As for the answer- that's what I was thinking- even though in light of the entire spread I had a different (more optimistic take)- I was wondering if I could post it for you to have a look- it is long that's why I didn't do it initially as I know people don't like reading long posts about interpretations- but maybe if you are willing- I would LOVE to hear your take on my RX magician interpretation in the context of the entire reading...
DanielJUK Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 If you buy the published deck from Amazon or any shops now, you get the book with it in a set. Before I bought it self-published and bought it separately and you know I don't think it was worth getting 😬. The deck really reads best intuitively, just look at the pictures and there is so much info about it across the internet with views and ideas about the cards! There is a good study group back on AT for it as well going through each card. I have noticed with this deck you either get on with it or don't, it's a bit black and white. It's one my fave intuitive decks that I own. You are welcome to post your reading here and we can move this thread to the Personal Tarot Readings section. Or we can leave this thread as discussing the Magician Rx if it helps anyone else and you can post your reading separately in the Personal Tarot Readings area, I don't mind looking at it.
RunningWild Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 The pocket edition (in a tin!) only comes with the LWB and probably not a lot of information apart from the standard stuff. I don't read reversals myself and this deck is nice for that but if I for some reason I got the Magician RX I would personally start to look at where I might be deceiving myself in my reading in context of the question asked. Am I choosing to overlook something? Willful ignorance? Just a thought.
