This is a sacred moment of beginning.Clad in a red robe, the magician stands before an altar. His right hand raises a wand to channel higher wisdom, while his left points toward the earth, ready to bring it into form.

Surrounded by blooming flowers, he stands with confidence, as if declaring: as long as my will is firm, I can create miracles from nothing.
