Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 3 episode 9! This week it's time to save Josh from party purgatory. But this isn't your standard exfiltratation operation. We have to dance, sing, and party our boy to safety. Thanks for listening!

"You see this? That's how you stretch!" It was a magical night for both Canes Hoops and Canes Baseball, which means it's time for Dan to give a soliloquy on the entire history of the University of Miami's athletic program since the days of Ichabod Crane. Plus, Nick Wright is playing in a poker game against guys named Señor Tilt, The Magician, and Doc Holliday with money on the line for the Shipping Container, but not for Nacho Man or Stone Cold Steve Bloated, who are in Pampano. Or Doral. Or Sunrise. Or maybe Delray. Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Roy, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony... plus Chris, Zas, and Domino on remote. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Britten welcomes Bella O'Brien, Breezy Barcelo, and Sarah Kajani for a roundtable on the topic Big Magic Makes Big Change and what it actually means to go big for your magic. Each shares the threshold moment that brought them to The Magician's Table - the doubt, the tug, the resistance, the synchronicities - and how saying Yes marked a turning point. Together they explore devotion over performance, presence over palatability, and the slow dissolving of self-imposed limits. They reflect on how the container expanded their capacity for trust, vulnerability, reverence, and creative risk, and how the ripples continue long after the formal work ends.

Season 8 goes full pulp-hero mode as Dangerous Dave dives into one of the boldest and most ambitious animated crossovers of the 1980s — Defenders of the Earth.We rewind to 1986 in What Happened Way Back When, uncovering cult movies, era-defining songs, and forgotten TV gems from a year where cartoons weren't just entertainment — they were mythology in motion. Retro Headlines from the UK and US set the scene for peak 80s pop culture excess.In a huge Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave explores the history of Defenders of the Earth, from its King Features pulp roots to its daring attempt to unite Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and Lothar into one shared animated universe. The episode breaks down the cast, characters, and the Top 20 episodes, exploring the darker tone, epic stakes, and the larger-than-life villainy of Ming the Merciless.Elsewhere in the episode:

AC and Isaac welcome John Michael Greer back to the Plant Cunning Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on mundane astrology and the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20. Greer explains mundane astrology as astrology applied to world events, emphasizing traditional tools like ingress charts for solstices and equinoxes, eclipse charts, and great conjunctions, and describing astrology as an empirical craft built from long historical observation. The episode explores why 0° Aries functions as a zodiac “reset button,” why Saturn (form, limits, structure) combining with Neptune (dissolution, unity, imagination, delusion) suggests major shifts. They discuss competing ways of timing the Age of Aquarius, including the 2020 Jupiter–Saturn conjunction in Aquarius as a possible “dawn” marker, and critique utopian 1960s portrayals of Aquarius, noting traditional rulership by Saturn and the difficult, disruptive qualities associated with Uranus (and Rahu as co-ruler in Vedic astrology). Greer ties Uranus-in-Gemini cycles to U.S. history and “elite replacement” periods, framing current politics as another transition that may include bureaucratic contraction and social conflict without necessarily implying “the end of everything.” Additional themes include long-term decline versus sudden collapse, climate volatility, ice-sheet destabilization, karmic causality as “action and consequence” rather than retribution, and esoteric ideas like Dion Fortune's “initiation of the nadir” as a potential collective turning point amid peak global population. 02:53 Mundane Astrology101: The Oldest Branch of Astrology & How It Works04:26 Tools of Mundane Astrology: Ingresses, Eclipses, and Great Conjunctions06:29 Why 0° Aries Matters: The Zodiac ‘Reset Button'08:27 Saturn Meets Neptune: Form vs Dissolution—and Why This One's Unprecedented11:50 Axial Age Echoes: Religion, Philosophy, and What Might Change Next15:50 Age of Aquarius: Uranus Energy, Myths of Utopia, and Saturn's Reality Check21:07 Tech, AI, and Civilizational Fragility26:25 When Did the Age of Aquarius Begin?5:26 Wheels Within Wheels: Stacking Cycles and What We'll Notice in Our Lifetimes36:42 Historical Parallel: Early Democracy, and How Big Shifts Start Small37:56 Athens' Democratic Experiment & the Rise of a Cultural Powerhouse38:36 Thales and the Birth of Philosophy: Reason Replaces Myth39:34 Where the Next Breakthrough Comes From: Fringe Ideas That ‘Work'41:07 Screens, AI, and a Return to Being Human (in a New Way)42:46 The Star of Bethlehem, Magi as Magicians, and Modern ‘Messiah' Speculation44:37 Aquarius vs Pisces: Why We Can't Imagine a Truly New Age45:11 Reading Dead People: Ancient Epics as a Portal to Other Mindsets46:20 Kali Yuga vs Satya Yuga: Are We in the Spiritual Winter?48:43 26,000-Year Cycles, Ancient Dread, and ‘This Is as Bad as It Gets'52:33 Saturn's Lesson: Endure, Do Your Dharma, and Get to Work54:34 Initiation of the Nadir: Hitting Rock Bottom and Rounding the Buoy58:48 Uranus in Gemini & America's Elite Replacement Cycles (Revolution–Civil War–WWII)01:05:43 Mundane Astrology Methods: Updating Planetary Meanings for the Modern World01:09:06 Mars vs Mercury Masculinity—and What a Future Dark Age Might Look Like01:13:20 Post-Collapse Cities in ‘Star's Reach': A Byzantine-Style Future01:14:06 What Determines the Shape of a Dark Age?

A spontaneous episode recorded on Moon's day, the night before the Aquarius new moon/solar eclipse, in a Panera parking lot—possibly one spot away from where the Mercury retrograde in Sag transmission was recorded in November.This is the first voice memo ever recorded on the new phone (which isn't that new—it's an old model that someone said was the best phone, and sometimes the new technology isn't worth the money). This episode covers AI overwhelm (Claude AI being down for days, Zoom features nobody asked for, transcription agents joining client calls uninvited), why entrepreneurship is improv, and why the episode that was supposed to drop Sunday (the Magician card, episode 1) is now dropping Friday instead—making it the High Priestess card (episode 2) on Venus's day.Also: why this podcast was built by Uranus (not Saturn), why women wore shoulder pads in blazers when Saturn was last in Aries in 1999, why the best comedy characters come from real life (Linda Richmond was Mike Myers' first mother-in-law), why podcasting is a huge pain in the ass, and why SEO optimization is happening now for the future—not for current listeners.New rules, new energy, new year. We're holding hands and pretending this episode doesn't exist in the numbering system. Episode 23 drops Friday. It's the High Priestess. Moon and Sun dancing together. Masculine and feminine. Inspired action and intuition.

In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by Caroline Durlacher and Mellie Test for a conversation on staying with your magic when it's unclear, inspired by the Eight of Swords. Together they reflect on what it's like to be in a long creative process - where clarity doesn't always arrive on the timeline the mind wants - and how The Magician's Table can function as a container that supports devotion, experimentation, and self-recognition. They explore the tension between money as feedback and the ways it can distort our relationship to magic, while naming the relief and power of letting your practice be emergent: trusting transmission, honoring cave time, and creating without needing permission, justification, or proof.   Topics They Cover: Returning to The Magician's Table twice: resistance, refinement, and the intelligence of coming back Money as feedback vs. money as proof and how tying magic to material success can cloud clarity Devotion to process: luxuriating in the process, experimentation, and letting your work evolve moment to moment Cave time, invisibility, and staying with your magic during unclear or non-linear seasons Self-recognition as the true initiation and claiming you are magical without needing external validation   About Caroline Durlacher: Caroline Durlacher is a former literature & philosophy PhD candidate turned Emergent Business mentor for divergent thinkers & creative visionaries. She helps what she calls "Artists under Capitalism" & "Emergent Practitioners" turn their deep devotions & uncontainable work into online business ecosystems that generate wealth, visibility, and cultural power. When you're ready to make money by building worlds with your art, her work is for you. INSTAGRAM: @carolinedurlacher SUBSTACK: Ways of Knowing About Mellie Test: Mellie is a playful, multi-disciplinary practitioner and catalyst whose work spans movement, fitness, visual art, and design.

Explore the Lover archetype and how integrated aliveness, pleasure with containment, and emotional presence prevent strength from becoming sterile. The Missing Current in Modern Male Strength The Lover archetype is the most misunderstood force in modern masculinity. It is often mistaken for softness, indulgence, or emotional excess. In reality, the Lover is neither sentimental nor weak. It is the archetype responsible for aliveness itself. It governs a man's capacity to feel, to connect, to experience meaning and pleasure without losing structure. When this archetype is integrated, life feels vivid, embodied, and human. When it is distorted or suppressed, strength remains—but it becomes brittle, sterile, and quietly unsustainable. In the architecture of the Conscious Warrior, the Lover is the connective tissue. The King governs. The Warrior executes. The Magician refines perception. The Lover circulates life through all of them. Without it, authority hardens, discipline dries out, and insight loses relevance. Men do not fail because they lack strength. They fail because strength becomes disconnected from vitality. The Lover is not a luxury. It is a requirement. The Core Function of the Lover Archetype At its core, the Lover archetype governs connection and vitality. It is the capacity to experience life directly rather than abstractly. Where the Magician sees meaning, the Lover feels it. Where the Warrior moves toward challenge, the Lover experiences why the challenge matters. Where the King sets standards, the Lover ensures those standards serve something alive rather than mechanical. The Lover connects a man to beauty, pleasure, creativity, nature, intimacy, and emotional resonance. This does not mean constant stimulation or indulgence. It means presence. The Lover allows a man to receive experience fully without needing to dominate it, escape it, or numb it. When the Lover is healthy, life feels textured. Effort has reward. Discipline has warmth. Authority has humanity. When the Lover is absent, men often report a strange emptiness. They are productive, competent, and disciplined—yet something feels flat. This is not a motivation problem. It is a circulation problem. Why the Lover Must Be Contained by the King The Lover is powerful, but it is not sovereign. Vitality without containment leaks. Pleasure without structure turns corrosive. Emotion without authority becomes destabilizing. This is why the Lover must be held by the King. When the Lover serves the King, aliveness becomes sustainable. Pleasure enriches rather than distracts. Emotion informs rather than overwhelms. Creativity fuels direction instead of fragmenting it. The King provides boundaries so the Lover can flow without flooding the system. Without the King, the Lover often collapses into excess or avoidance. Desire becomes compulsive. Stimulation replaces satisfaction. Emotional experience becomes something to chase or suppress rather than inhabit. This is not because pleasure is dangerous, but because it is uncontained. The relationship between King and Lover is not oppositional. It is regulatory. One creates structure. The other fills it with life. The Lover as the Antidote to Sterile Strength Many men pride themselves on discipline, restraint, and control. These are not flaws. They are incomplete expressions of strength. When discipline is severed from the Lover, it turns rigid. Training becomes punishment. Work becomes endurance. Relationships become transactional. Pleasure feels suspect, as though it might weaken resolve or dilute edge. Over time, the nervous system adapts by numbing. Sensation dulls. Emotional range narrows. Life becomes manageable—but no longer rich. The Lover restores circulation where strength has dried out. It reintroduces sensation, joy, intimacy, and creative engagement without dismantling discipline. This is not regression. It is integration. A man does not lose his edge by feeling more. He loses his edge by becoming disconnected from what gives effort meaning. Strength that cannot feel eventually collapses under its own weight. The Healthy Lover Archetype A healthy Lover archetype is grounded, regulated, and embodied. It experiences pleasure without compulsion and emotion without collapse. Presence remains steady even when sensation is intense. Men with an integrated Lover often notice subtle but profound shifts. They recover faster. They enjoy effort rather than merely surviving it. They feel connected to their bodies, their environments, and the people around them without losing direction or discipline. Emotional intimacy deepens because presence replaces performance. This form of aliveness is not chaotic. It is rhythmic. The nervous system can open and close, receive and act, engage and rest. Pleasure is digested rather than chased. Emotion moves through rather than lingering or exploding. Life feels inhabited rather than endured. The Shadow Lover Archetype The shadow Lover does not lack feeling. It lacks containment. One expression of the shadow Lover is excess. Pleasure becomes compulsive. Dopamine replaces depth. Stimulation substitutes for intimacy. This often shows up as overconsumption—of sex, novelty, substances, entertainment, or validation—without lasting satisfaction. The system keeps reaching because nothing ever lands. The other expression is numbing. Sensation is shut down in the name of focus, discipline, or control. Emotion is withheld. Joy feels distracting. Intimacy feels threatening. Life becomes muted, and the body adapts by lowering sensitivity. These two shadows are not opposites. They are twins. Both arise from the same misalignment: pleasure without containment or containment without pleasure. In both cases, vitality leaks or dries out. Healthy Lover vs Shadow Lover Healthy Lover Shadow Lover Experiences pleasure with containment Chases pleasure compulsively Emotion is felt and regulated Emotion overwhelms or numbs Presence deepens intimacy Intensity replaces intimacy Aliveness supports discipline Aliveness disrupts discipline Vitality is sustainable Vitality leaks or collapses The difference is not desire. It is structure. The Lover Archetype and Masculine Intimacy When Lover energy is wounded, it shows up clearly in intimacy. Sex becomes performance or escape. Emotional connection feels risky. Some men chase intensity, novelty, or conquest because depth feels unavailable. Others withdraw, convincing themselves that emotional distance equals strength. In both cases, presence is missing. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of control. An integrated Lover does not seek intensity to feel alive. He brings aliveness into contact. Intimacy becomes an exchange rather than a transaction. Desire is felt without urgency. Emotion is shared without collapse. Strength remains intact because it is no longer defending against sensation. This is not relational advice. It is an identity-level distinction. Integrating the Lover Archetype Integrating the Lover archetype is not about indulgence. It is about regulation. It requires the capacity to receive sensation without losing containment. To feel pleasure without compulsive reach. To experience emotion without outsourcing responsibility. This integration allows vitality to circulate through discipline, authority, and perception without destabilizing them. Men were never taught how to do this. They were taught to choose between edge and aliveness, between discipline and pleasure, between control and connection. That false choice fractures the system. When the Lover is integrated, strength does not soften. It becomes worth sustaining. Frequently Asked Questions About the Lover Archetype What is the Lover archetype in men? The Lover archetype governs aliveness, connection, pleasure, and emotional presence. It is the capacity to experience life directly and meaningfully rather than through abstraction or control. When healthy, it enriches discipline and authority; when wounded, it leads to excess or numbness. Why do disciplined men still feel emotionally flat? Emotional flatness often occurs when discipline suppresses vitality instead of containing it. Strength remains, but sensation dulls. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of focus, causing life to feel sterile despite competence and consistency. How does pleasure become destructive? Pleasure becomes destructive when it lacks containment. Without structure, the nervous system chases stimulation instead of integrating satisfaction. This leads to compulsive patterns rather than sustained aliveness, even when pleasure appears abundant. Is the Lover archetype about relationships and sex? Relationships and sex are expressions of the Lover archetype, but not its entirety. At a deeper level, the Lover governs presence, embodiment, and the ability to receive experience fully. Intimacy simply reveals whether that capacity is integrated or fragmented. How does coaching support integration of the Lover archetype? Coaching provides containment for emotional and somatic awareness, helping men regulate sensation rather than suppress or chase it. This allows vitality to circulate without destabilizing discipline, restoring depth and presence without sacrificing edge. Closing Reflection The Lover archetype does not weaken strength. It animates it. Without the Lover, discipline becomes dry, authority becomes rigid, and perception loses relevance. With it, strength feels alive, effort feels meaningful, and life becomes something you inhabit rather than manage. This integration does not reduce power. It stabilizes it. For men ready to reclaim aliveness without losing their edge, the doorway is quiet but exact. The Conscious Warrior Code exists to support this level of integration—where vitality flows through structure, and strength remains fully human. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The Subconscious Mind And Personal Development ConnectionHow to Avoid Burnout: Warrior Mind Podcast #4576 Scientific Tips for Achieving of Peak PerformanceThe 4C’s of Mental Strength VLOG The Neuroscience of Willpower: The Shocking Science Behind This PracticeMental Strength for Peak Performance: Warrior Mind Podcast #470Warrior vs. Victim: Warrior Mind Podcast #49510 Must Have Leadership Skills: Warrior Mind Podcast #381

In this Dark Moon download, Britten speaks from the dark moon in Capricorn at the closing edge of the lunar cycle, as Saturn reaches the final degree of Pisces and prepares to move into Aries. She shares why these are a form of self-regulation and names the phrase that has been coming through really loud at the end of this cycle: living your refusals. Britten explores refusal as a sacred Saturnian function. An integrity-based "no" that clarifies what is loving, fair, and generative, and locates agency and authority. Reflecting on how abundance begins with no, she invites listeners to refuse collapse, perfectionism, and silence. And explains how to move from compassion into action. As the energy shifts from Pisces to Aries, she calls forward self-trust, sacred irritation as information, and the courage to free up energy for the dreams that want to come into form.   +++   Learn More about The Magician's Table:  The Magician's Table is a 3-month container for personal growth, community connection, and practice growing one's tools as an intuitive and magical practitioner.

The Jeffrey Epstein files reveal the convicted child sex offender was fascinated by magicians, and detail a years-long relationship between Epstein and David Blaine as well as an FBI investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by David Copperfield.Since the files were released by the US department of justice two weeks ago, Irish Times journalist Naomi O'Leary has been combing through the documents.It is not, she says, an easy cache to navigate, with a clunky search function and opaque filing system.However she has been able to find multiple emails which reveal a relationship between Epstein and several famous magicians including Blaine and Copperfield – after the disgraced financier had been convicted and served prison time for soliciting sex with children.O'Leary came into studio to detail her experience of searching the consistently disturbing files – so big that only a fraction of them have been excavated by journalists worldwide. She explains how sex trafficker Epstein, collector of powerful people and expert at developing transactional relationships with them, had a weird fascination with magicians.Being mentioned in the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

What happens when a high-level business coach with a background in engineering and computer science decides to stop playing small and finally embrace her true calling as a magician? In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Elizabeth Purvis. Elizabeth has spent nearly two decades as a powerhouse in the coaching industry, but beneath the surface of her success, there was a deeper metamorphosis waiting to be triggered.We dive deep into Elizabeth's journey through my Metamorphosis and Mothership programs, where we uncovered the specific childhood wounds and inner child patterns that were keeping her business in a box. It's one thing to have the skillset, which Elizabeth has in spades, but it's another to lead from a place of complete embodiment and energetic alignment. By doing the trauma healing necessary to feel "safe" enough to be her full, magical self, Elizabeth has successfully bridged the gap between logic and spirit.If you're a business owner feeling like you've hit an invisible ceiling, this conversation is your roadmap.

Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 3 episode 8! This week, Penny finds himself in the underworld along with his BEST friend and a prophetic Alice lookalike.

Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by artist, astrologer, and mom extraordinaire, Janessa Quinn, for an intimate and revealing conversation about what it's like to live inside the active moment of political crisis in Minnesota. Janessa shares firsthand experiences of community response to ICE activity, the emergence of underground networks of care, and the psychological and logistical realities of daily life under what many are calling an occupation. Together, they reflect on astrology as a contextual anchor and explore what it means to stop asking systems to save us and instead build something new through relationship, proximity, and care.   Topics They Cover: Janessa's personal and geographic context: growing up between South Florida and Minnesota, and how Minnesota's rule-following culture shapes both resistance and collective response How the murder of George Floyd marked a turning point that seeded long-term mutual aid, underground care networks, and community organizing that are now being reactivated What daily life looks like inside the current situation in Minnesota: hypervigilance, checking maps, encrypted group chats, anonymous coordination, and the emotional toll of living in multiple realities at once Parenting through crisis: how Janessa talks with her children about ICE, safety, kidnapping, and the presence of helpers without sugarcoating what's happening The concept of occupation: why that word fits, how it feels psychologically and physically, and how it echoes historical moments of wartime normalization The role of local businesses, neighbors, and mutual aid becoming acts of resistance Astrology as both a witness and compass: Pluto in Aquarius, Jupiter in Cancer, the Aries Point, and the tension between urgency, force, love, and long-term capacity-building Capacity building and self-care as survival skills: tending energy, restoring capacity, and preparing for what may continue or spread beyond Minnesota About Janessa Quinn: Janessa Quinn is an artist, astrologer, and mom extraordinaire located in Minnesota. As a tender of flame and keeper of hearth, she is here to inspire and encourage others to liberate themselves by remembering their fire within. With the help of her 8th house Libra sun and fiery chart ruler, Jupiter in Aries, Janessa illuminates the treasure we can only find in the dark and boldly shares it with the world via her many offerings, including one-on-one consultations, workshops, writing, and her podcast, The Astro Garden.  You can find out more about Janessa's work at her website, byjoveastrology.com or on Instagram at @byjoveastro.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes artist and healer Arizona Smith, a 13th Reader for The Magician's Table. Arizona shares stories from her life and practice that move between divination, art, dreaming, land attunement, and lineage repair. Together, they explore how meaning unfolds over time, how signs and omens ask for patience, and what it means to stay in relationship with mystery rather than rushing to interpretation. The conversation touches on inner child healing, devotion to land and ancestors, creative practice as medicine, and the slow, often surprising ways healing and protection can move across time.   Topics They Cover  Arizona's relationship to being an artist and a seer, and how her practice weaves divination, ritual tools, dreaming, and art-making The Purple Diamond as a lifelong presence, omen, and creative thread that took years to fully reveal its meaning Crows, synchronicity, and the way signs and messages arrive through relationship with the natural world Time-bending healing, inner child work, and the practice of offering blessings across past, present, and future selves Dream-led land healing and listening for what the land is asking rather than trying to impose change Lineage, repair, boundaries, and the ongoing work of protecting innocence in ourselves, in others, and in the world About Arizona Smith: Arizona is an artist and healer who works ceremonially with the tarot, talismanic artworks, and energetic healing. She is the author of The Purple Diamond Tarot and The Book of Love: An Oracle Deck for Emotional Healing, and draws on decades of experience exploring creativity, divination, and subtle energy work. Her practice is rooted in ritual, symbolism, and an attunement to unseen currents, guiding individuals to reconnect with their wild, inner power and innate capacity to self-heal. Through one-to-one sessions, events, retreats, and teaching, she creates immersive spaces for exploration and transformation — where insight, imagination, and embodied wisdom come together, offering clarity, resonance, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Explore the Magician archetype and how perception, meaning, and disciplined awareness refine power, sharpen action, and support integrated strength in men. Table of Contents Toggle IntroductionThe Core Function of the Magician ArchetypeWhy the Magician Must Serve the KingThe Magician as a Corrective to Warrior RigidityThe Healthy Magician ArchetypeThe Shadow Magician ArchetypeHealthy Magician vs Shadow MagicianPerception as the True Source of PowerIntegrating the Magician ArchetypeClosing ReflectionFrequently Asked Questions About the Magician Archetype Introduction The Magician archetype operates before action, before emotion, and before effort. It governs how reality is perceived, how meaning is assigned, and how inner experience is interpreted long before the Warrior moves or the King decides. When this archetype is integrated, life feels cleaner and more navigable. When it is distorted or absent, effort increases while effectiveness declines. Modern men often misunderstand the Magician. Some reduce it to intellect, others to spirituality, and others dismiss it as impractical reflection. In truth, the Magician is not abstract and it is not passive. It is the archetype responsible for orientation. It determines what is noticed, what is ignored, and what is assumed to be true. Those assumptions quietly shape every decision that follows. The Magician does not replace strength. It refines it. Without the Magician, power becomes blunt and repetitive. With it, power becomes precise, economical, and aligned. The Core Function of the Magician Archetype At its core, the Magician archetype governs perception and meaning-making. It shapes how events are interpreted internally rather than merely experienced externally. Two men can face the same circumstance, yet their internal experience and resulting behavior can be radically different. The difference is not discipline or intelligence. It is perceptual orientation. The Magician is responsible for pattern recognition, psychological insight, and awareness of inner states without becoming consumed by them. It allows a man to observe his reactions rather than be driven by them. This does not remove emotion or instinct. It places them into context so they can be acted upon intelligently rather than impulsively. Because the Magician operates upstream of behavior, its influence is often invisible. By the time action occurs, perception has already done its work. This is why perception, not effort, is often the true bottleneck in growth and effectiveness. Why the Magician Must Serve the King The Magician archetype is powerful, but it is not sovereign. Insight without authority drifts. Awareness without structure becomes circular. This is why the Magician must serve the King. The King provides order, values, and direction, while the Magician refines understanding in service of those priorities. When the Magician serves the King, perception becomes disciplined. Insight is filtered through standards rather than indulged endlessly. Complexity is distilled into clarity, and understanding supports decision rather than undermining it. Authority remains intact while becoming more informed. Without the King, the Magician can become ungrounded. Reflection replaces commitment. Insight replaces responsibility. Over time, perception becomes a refuge rather than a tool. The relationship between King and Magician is therefore functional rather than hierarchical. One governs direction, the other sharpens vision. The Magician as a Corrective to Warrior Rigidity The Warrior archetype excels at execution, discipline, and movement toward challenge. Over time, however, action without recalibration can harden. Intensity becomes habitual, and effort replaces precision. This is where the Magician becomes essential as a corrective force. The Magician interrupts momentum when momentum is no longer intelligent. It questions assumptions that drive unnecessary struggle. It reveals when effort is being applied out of habit rather than necessity. This is not hesitation or avoidance. It is refinement. When integrated, the Magician preserves the Warrior's effectiveness by preventing wasted energy and self-inflicted friction. The Warrior still acts decisively, but with fewer unnecessary battles. Strength remains, while strain decreases. The Healthy Magician Archetype A healthy Magician archetype is grounded, embodied, and oriented toward clarity. It observes without dissociating and reflects without withdrawing. Awareness remains connected to action and responsibility. Men with an integrated Magician often notice subtle but profound changes. Reactivity decreases, not because life becomes easier, but because perception becomes cleaner. Decisions feel simpler because fewer assumptions are distorting the field. Emotional charge dissipates more quickly because it is understood rather than resisted. This form of awareness is not detached or superior. It is practical. It conserves energy by reducing unnecessary interpretation and internal conflict. The Shadow Magician Archetype The shadow Magician does not lack insight. It lacks alignment. When perception becomes disconnected from authority, awareness turns inward without containment. Insight becomes identity. Understanding replaces accountability. This often appears as intellectualizing emotion instead of regulating it, or using insight to delay action rather than refine it. In other cases, perception becomes a tool for subtle manipulation, shaping narratives to maintain control rather than clarity. Spiritual or psychological bypassing can also emerge, where discomfort is reframed away instead of integrated. The shadow Magician often appears composed and articulate. Internally, however, there is drift. Action slows, authority erodes, and life becomes overinterpreted rather than lived. The issue is not intelligence or awareness. It is the refusal to submit insight to structure. Healthy Magician vs Shadow Magician Healthy Magician Shadow Magician Perception serves clarity Perception replaces responsibility Insight refines action Insight delays action Awareness is embodied Awareness is detached Understanding stabilizes Understanding destabilizes Meaning leads to order Meaning becomes escape The distinction is not subtle. One sharpens strength. The other quietly dissolves it. Perception as the True Source of Power Modern culture often equates power with force, output, or intensity. These are downstream expressions. Perception is upstream. What a man notices determines what he reacts to. What he assumes determines how he moves. What he believes shapes how much effort is required to sustain direction. The Magician archetype governs this entire chain. When perception is accurate, effort decreases. When perception is distorted, effort multiplies. This is why insight, when properly integrated, often produces relief rather than strain. The Magician does not remove challenge. It removes unnecessary struggle. Integrating the Magician Archetype Integrating the Magician archetype is not about acquiring more information. It is about disciplining attention. Awareness must be trained to serve clarity rather than indulgence. This integration requires submitting insight to authority, allowing decisions to be made rather than endlessly analyzed. It requires embodied awareness that remains present under pressure. It also requires releasing the identity of being the one who understands, in favor of being the one who sees accurately and acts accordingly. When integrated, the Magician becomes almost invisible. Life feels less dramatic, not because it lacks depth, but because perception is no longer inflating tension. Strength sharpens as waste disappears. Closing Reflection The Magician archetype is not about withdrawing from reality or escaping responsibility. It is about seeing reality clearly enough to engage it wisely. When the Magician serves the King and refines the Warrior, strength becomes intelligent and effort becomes efficient. This is not a reduction of power. It is a refinement of it. Perception becomes aligned with authority, and action follows without unnecessary strain. For men ready to deepen their orientation and integrate perception with disciplined action, the invitation is quiet but exact. The Conscious Warrior Code exists to support this level of integration, where seeing clearly becomes a source of strength rather than hesitation. Frequently Asked Questions About the Magician Archetype What is the Magician archetype in men? The Magician archetype governs perception, awareness, and meaning-making. It shapes how a man interprets reality and understands his inner experience. When healthy, it refines authority and action. When distorted, it leads to detachment, manipulation, or avoidance. How is the Magician different from intelligence or intellect? Intellect processes information, while the Magician orients perception. A man can be highly intelligent yet reactive or misaligned. The Magician determines how understanding is embodied and applied in real situations rather than remaining theoretical. Why do insightful men still feel stuck? Insight alone does not produce movement. Without authority and structure, awareness becomes circular. Many men feel stuck not because they lack understanding, but because perception is not submitted to decision and disciplined action. Why is coaching important for integrating the Magician archetype? Coaching provides containment for insight. It helps translate awareness into alignment by clarifying authority, challenging avoidance, and refining perception under pressure. This prevents insight from becoming self-referential and ensures it supports action rather than stagnation. Can the Magician archetype be developed later in life? Yes. The Magician archetype develops through disciplined attention and embodied awareness. Many men integrate it more fully in midlife, when force alone no longer works and perception becomes the primary leverage point for growth. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts What's So Great About Positive Thinking?Time or Energy Management – Warrior Mind Podcast #606Positive Energy And Personal Vibration: Warrior Mind Podcast # 151Inspiration not Motivation: Warrior Mind Podcast #441 Create a Peak Performance Mindset – Warrior Mind Podcast #649Leadership Burnout: The Hidden Cost Executives Refuse to FaceHow to Build a Wonderful Life: Warrior Mind Podcast #540The Strength of Gratitude: Warrior Mind Podcast #191

In this conversation, Britten LaRue is joined by multidisciplinary esoteric practitioner Leanne Thurogood for a deep, land-rooted exploration of ancestry, magic, and what happens when we say yes to a call we don't fully understand yet. Leanne shares the story of being pulled into The Magician's Table through literal and energetic portals, her pilgrimage back to Scotland, and the emergence of the Three Cauldrons as a sovereign, ancestral energy practice. Together, they reflect on lineage, fear, vulnerability, and the kind of magic that asks us to trust before it gives us a plan.   Topics They Cover:  How land, etymology, and ancestry quietly shape our magical identities What it means to feel the call of The Magician's Table, resist it, circle it, and eventually step through a doorway that makes change inevitable The Cailleach as land, elemental force, and bone mother: cycles of death and rebirth, mythic memory, and remembering what the land already knows Letting go of pre-planned offerings and trusted tools in order to birth something new, unknown, and guided The Three Cauldrons as a Celtic cosmology of sovereign energy management rooted in sea, land, and sky Community as an amplifier of magic: how witnessing, reflection, and shared vulnerability turn peers into kin and create lasting webs of connection   About Leanne Thurogood: Leanne is a multidisciplinary esoteric practitioner weaving Celtic ancestral wisdom through Astrology, Energy healing and Tarot. Her work is devoted to remembering and reawakening the bone stories of her motherland, carried through the living lens of personal lore - including her reclamation of WITCH.

An uncertified magician, who's not allowed to cast enchantments in the city proper, finds odd jobs to do in the outer city. Genre: Fantasy   Excerpt:I got into this business at the wrong time. Now that huge factories could crank out standardized magic components that anyone could use, without even a basic understanding of the primary forces and how to shape them, not too many people were interested in "hand-crafted artisan" magic. That's what the kids called it now. In my grandpa's day, it was just called…magic.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 3 episode 7! This week, it's another heist attempt for everyone's favorite criminal masterminds (plus Felicia Day). Maybe Quentin and Penny will have more luck extricating a willing hospital patient.

Episode DescriptionFebruary 2026 continues the intense arc we entered in January, deepening our collective experience of the Wheel of Fortune. In this live tarot reading, we explore what happens when a period of exhaustion, over-analysis, and emotional saturation reaches its breaking point…and how genuine momentum becomes possible on the other side.Using a four-card spread, this forecast moves from the Ten of Swords as the month's core theme into the activating presence of The Magician, with The Moon returning as a challenge and The Queen of Wands offering a path forward. Together, these cards describe a moment where rumination has run its course and learning shifts from internal processing to vibrant, embodied engagement.February asks us to stop studying our pain and begin responding to life again. Creativity, agency, humor, and decisive action become a path towards newness and growth.Cards DrawnTheme: Ten of SwordsOof. A moment of undeniable saturation. This card marks the end of a cycle of overthinking, rumination, and psychic overload. February begins by asking: what has become too much to carry? Where has analysis, information, or suffering reached its limit?Environment: The MagicianDespite the heaviness of the Ten of Swords, the surrounding environment is charged with possibility. The Magician signals available energy, agency, and catalytic change. Engagement with the world - people, projects, conversations - can quickly generate momentum.Challenge: The MoonThe challenge is lingering too long in January's fog. While lunar disorientation was necessary last month, February asks us to stop performing confusion and start responding. Trust in motion can replace prolonged uncertainty.Opportunity: Queen of WandsCreative action, leadership, and visible engagement are supported now. This card invites confidence without rigidity, passion without over-attachment, and movement without needing full certainty. Fire warms the late winter landscape!Key Themes for February 2026* Endpoints, limits, and psychic saturation* Releasing over-analysis and repetitive suffering* Learning through action rather than theory* Creative engagement as restoration* Agency returning after collapse* Leadership, visibility, and warmth in community spacesClosing InvitationFebruary marks a shift from endurance to response. You're invited to reflect on what you're ready to put down, and where you're willing to step back into the world with curiosity, creativity, and trust. This is a public episode.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes Lily Hussey - 13th Reader for The Magician's Table this year - to explore the connection of astrology, adornment, voice, and glamour magic. Together, they move through a rich dialogue about being seen in your wholeness: integrating taboo selves, unshaming performance and illusion, and finding the joy that makes it easier to show up in a year that asks for big magic, inner authority, and community.   Topics They Cover: Lily stepping into the role of a 13th Reader for The Magician's Table 2026, and the energy of returning leadership, trust, and devotion that comes with being invited back into the container Being a corporate marketing girly and a magician at the same time, and the work of integrating parts of the self that once felt dissonant, taboo, or out of place How glamour, illusion, and performance can be reclaimed as honest and skillful magical arts rather than something fake or inauthentic The experience of shame, embarrassment, and visibility The Magician's Table as a safe, community-based practice space where both beginners and experienced practitioners can develop voice, magic, and confidence without needing everything figured out Fashion, adornment, and jewelry as everyday ritual, including planetary correspondences and intentional aesthetics that support presence and potency Astrology as a form of parts work, and the practice of cultivating wholeness, sensitivity, and inner authority by deciding which voices get to lead Why community acts as an amplifier for magic, making it easier to take creative risks, go bigger, and stay in relationship with joy and devotion   About Lily Hussey: lily hussey is a multidisciplinary creatrix, astrologer and witch. she weaves together astrology + planetary magick, ritual, adornment, glamour + chaos magick, deity work and a dash of irreverance in her good hussey universe to support folx in navigating this wild human experience. as a lifelong student of esoteria, she's always studying something new to add to her grimoire. she believes we are all innately magickal and through her practice aims to help you remember, uncover and reclaim that magick.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bitten: “Never date a guy who's like your father.” ACOFAE realized that it's National Werewolf Day this week and figured, why not?! Why not throw it back to one of Laura Marie's very first werewolf books, very first thrifted book, and first book where everyone is 30+. That's right, everyone here in Kelly Armstrong's Bitten is over 30 and loves being a werewolf. Elena had to come around to it, but she also loves being a werewolf. It's the pack, and her ex fiancé, that are the issue. Instincts are hard to fight though and Elena is finding life away from the pack to be stifling, so when a series of crimes calls her back to her old life how can she resist? Join ACOFAE as they delight in supernatural creatures actually liking themselves while trying to solve a mystery, and cackle at Elena forgetting to call her current boyfriend. Priorities. The call of the wild and all that. Beg.

The Messiah and the Magician (Acts 8:4-25) | 020126 by One Ancient Hope Presbyterian Church

Magicians can perform seemingly impossible feats. Objects appear and disappear, change and transform. But how do these things happen? Zi teaches the science of how our senses really work, and how the work of magicians exposes the flaws in our perception that are normally invisible to us in everyday life.

In this conversation, Britten is joined by returning guest Suprasensory Shahir for a wide-ranging meditation on magic and The Magician (both as an archetype and as the first card of the Major Arcana). Together, they explore how magic moves through individuals and groups, why it resists ownership or hoarding, and what it means to live in right relationship with power. Britten also shares context around The Magician's Table, including Shahir's unprecedented return as a 13th Reader for 2026, and reflects on why presence, resonance, and devotion (rather than credentials) are the true thresholds for this work.   Topics They Cover: Magic and The Magician as an archetype, and the tarot card that inspired The Magician's Table Why magic wants to circulate, move, and be shared - not contained or possessed Personal magic versus group magic, and how power moves through a collective field Shahir's role as a 13th Reader, and what it means to hold space for others while participating fully Why Britten trusts intuitive selection over logic when inviting 13th Readers The structure of The Magician's Table: 12 Magicians, one 13th Reader, and why every seat matters Presence as the primary commitment and the real work of showing up A shared belief that everyone is magical   About Suprasensory Shahir: Suprasensory Shahir (they/he) is a love devotee mystic who shows up as an astrologer of the moment & diviner of the future. They embrace the spiritual tools of tarot, astrology & spirit guide connections to help people embrace a magical life. Shahir is a Queer Muslim from Southeast Asia who aligns themselves with Sufism, a mystical and inward-focused dimension of Islam.  Consultation: https://suprasensory.as.me/schedule.php  Writing: https://suprasensory.substack.com/  YouTube: Suprasensory Astrology https://www.youtube.com/@suprasensory  Instagram & Threads: https://www.instagram.com/suprasensoryshahir    +++ Introducing the 13th Readers for 2026: Arizona Smith: @arizonasmithhealing Leanne Thurogood: @oftheearthesoteric Lily Hussey: @goodhussey Suprasensory Shahir: @suprasensoryshahir +++ E M E R G E N C E  A S T R O L O G Y ⁠⁠https://brittenlarue.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brittenlarue Order Living Astrology Join my newsletter here Check out my new podcast CRYSTAL BALLERS on Spotify, Podbean, and Apple. +++ Podcast art: Angela George.

Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 3 episode 6! This week, Elliot agrees to chaperone Margo and her pubescent groom on a little romantic getaway. However, this is all a ploy to go do some reconnaissance in the far north, where the invasive fairy horde has set up some kind of mushroom breeding ground. Meanwhile, Quentin is back on the sentient boat with a familiar face hunting for the next key. Finding the key is surprisingly easy. Dealing with subsequent magically induced depression is unsurprisingly hard. Thanks for listening!

Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversals rights activists. Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why. What We're Covering: Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess. Reversals Make Readings More Efficient: Here's the thing: if you're not using reversals, you have to decide for every single card whether it's representing the upright or reversed energy—higher versus lower meaning. That's an extra interpretive step you're doing in your head. With reversals, you skip that step entirely. The card does the work for you. If you're reading a Celtic Cross, that's 10 steps you don't have to take. You can spend that energy feeling into the spread instead. Reversals Reduce Reader Bias: This is huge. I've read for tens of thousands of people, and I'll admit—sometimes I've twisted an interpretation because I emotionally didn't want something bad to happen to my client. Reversals act like a safeguard against that. It's like scientific processes that guard against subjective bias. The deck makes the upright/reversed decision for you through divine "randomization," not through your wishful thinking. Real Example - The Magician Reversed: Cathy did a reading for a guy making a big move—new city, new job, everything. All the cards looked great. He was prepared, his mindset was clear, everything was lined up perfectly. Then the outcome card: Magician reversed. If she hadn't been using reversals, she might have read that as "You're making this happen! Everything's great!" But reversed? Something out of his control was going to derail him. Using reversals prevented wishful reinterpretation and prompted deeper investigation with clarifying cards. Some Cards Get Better Reversed: Three of Swords? I'd much rather see that reversed. All those swords fall out—"I haven't got time for the pain." Ten of Swords? Same thing. Reversed can mean the worst is over, you're recovering, you're getting past it. The Devil, the Tower—these cards can soften when reversed, indicating you dodged a bullet or the intensity is lessening. But Also: Some Cards Need to Be Negative: Life sucks sometimes. Most people come to us because something's wrong. We can't just have unicorns and rainbows. Cards have to reflect real life. And when a reversal flags a problem—especially in an outcome position—that's when you dig deeper with clarifying cards. That's the mark of a professional: you don't just do three cards and call it done. You investigate. Practice Exercise: Pull the Four of Wands. Upright: celebration, connection, community, house party. Reversed: disrupted connections, cancelled celebrations, feeling separated. Pull the Ten of Wands. Upright: burden, grind culture, hustle mindset. Reversed: dropping the load, rejecting that whole "sacrifice everything for work" mentality. Creative Interpretation: Here's a cheat sheet: if you come up with a meaning that makes perfect sense and nobody's done it before, look through your deck and ask, "Does some other card already answer that question?" If not, you're onto something. The Ten of Swords giving the benediction gesture? That could be forgiveness. Reversed? "I want him dead, I want his family dead"—no forgiveness whatsoever. The point is to allow outside associations to connect with your cards. Look at a card and say, "This makes me think of . . . " and just have fun with it. Using reversals isn't about cutting corners—it's about letting the universe make decisions instead of you. It's about getting clearer, richer, more honest readings. Worth the time to learn. Thanks for being here. We'll be back with more soon. Books mentioned in this podcast: The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot—EVER!! The Easiest Way to Learn Astrology—EVER!!

In this conversation, Britten welcomes back Teagan West to explore the lore of The Magician's Table and answer a question listeners often ask: what is a 13th Reader? Britten shares how the container emerged through her journaling practice, why it's structured as 12 Magicians plus a 13th Reader, and what makes it a living, intelligent space that works quickly and deeply. Together, they reflect on the edge of being both leader and peer, the way each cohort carries its own distinct medicine, and why the work is less about managing outcomes and more about trusting the intelligence of the container itself.   Topics They Cover: The origin of The Magician's Table and why resonance (not experience) is the true threshold What it means to be a 13th Reader: holding the space while also fully participating Teagan's spiral path of resistance, invitation, and stepping into leadership Each cohort's unique medicine and the living intelligence of the container Tracking the perimeter: fox and skunk as metaphors for devotion, boundaries, and polarity The real work beneath the surface: Saturn, showing up, and consenting to deep internal alchemy   About Teagan West: Teagan West (she/they) is a Ritualist, Astrologer, Drum Maker & Ancestral Healing Practitioner from Ho:di:no:saunee Land, home of the Seneca Nation. The core of her work focuses on restoring Animist Lifeways as a form of Cultural Repair, re-membering our ancestral cosmologies as guideposts for the future. Teagan's Ancestors come from Ireland, Syria, Egypt + Eastern Anishinaabe Territory, whose legacy is at the center of her work + ritual praxis. She weaves together threads of Astrological Storytelling, Land Reconnection, Ancestral Tending and Community Ritual as a unique tapestry of culture work + animist remembrance. In her free time, you can find her making ritual tools such as Drums + Rattles, or communing with the Land and Ancestors through Song + Dance. Teagan is humbled to be back at the Magician's Table in the role of Staffholder, with the high honor of supporting 13th Readers and fellow Magicians through this year's cycle. This container had a huge impact on Teagan's life + practice, so it is an immense gift to be able to support others in experiencing the alchemy that this space has to offer. She will be present throughout the year to uplift Magicians + 13th Readers as they deepen into their gifts + soften into their growth edges.
