Tarot Card DiscussionThe Magician - Left Hand / Right Hand (cont.)... and Lotterhand Jason Lotterhand in his book, 'Thursday Night Tarot', tells us that The Magician’s stance is the most import symbol of Key 1. He goes on to say, “He is saluting the superior power and plugging into it. By this gesture we are shown the technique of concentration and dedication accepted by Cabalists and Taroists and all those who are seriously involve in the Path of the West. If you remember this gesture you will never fall into the trap of egotism.” While he does not specify right nor left hand in his talks we can safely assume that he is referring to an uplifted right arm and a downward pointed left as he was a long-time student of BOTA and a reverent of Paul Foster Case’s and his deck of choice for both personal use and teaching was the BOTA tarot. |
