Tarot Card DiscussionThe Magician - Left Hand / Right Hand (cont.)Waite, in the PK Tarot says, “In the Magician's right hand is a wand raised towards heaven, while the left hand is pointing to the earth. This dual sign is known in very high grades of the Instituted Mysteries; it shews the descent of grace, virtue and light, drawn from things above and derived to things below. The suggestion throughout is therefore the possession and communication of the Powers and Gifts of the Spirit.” The Magician's right hand & Paul Foster Case As Above So Below Paul Foster Case in _An Introduction to the Study of the Tarot_ tells us that the Magician in the BOTA deck is using his left hand to point to the qualities of the High Priestess and that his upraised right hand, holding a wand, is indicative of his connection, albeit it a passive relationship, with Ain Suph Aur, Limitless Light.
