The set of insights known as the Major Arcana of the tarot is really a didactic tool to explain the two informational processing realms in metaphysics called the nonlinear and sequential systems. Tarot wisdom beautifully illustrates this conversation between the two different information-processing realms. Tarot is wisdom rendered into art. And it is to be savored like an art form for it to unleash its full powers and capabilities. One of the ways to do this is by celebrating the gems of nonlinear metaphysics inherent in the dynamic systems of the tarot.

The Magician

The first ten Major Arcana cards are an explanation of the simpler processing model, which is sequential processing. The Magician card symbolizes the left brain. This is the serial processor cum laude. It analyzes various data forms and arranges them into four distinct world arrays: fire, air, water, and earth. It then attempts to control these four worlds through the various methods at its disposal. The fire realm is the existential realm; the air realm is the mental world sphere; the water realm constitutes the phase of social, cultural, romantic, and psychological variables; and the Earth realm represents the planes of matter, structure, physicality, and manifestation.
