The Magician is the  power of creation by willpower and  desire. In the episode &#8220;In My time of  Dying&#8221; John uses his desire to  see Dean live and his will to summon the Yellow Eyed Demon to make a  deal to save his son&#8217;s life. The Magician  also represents a smooth  talker, a salesman, and what other kind of  person could make the deal  John made? Some definitions of the card also  refer to the Magician as a  clever person with slight of hand, a snake  oil  salesman. John has  lived the life as a con man since Mary died, he&#8217;s  had to in order to  get the job done and support his sons.<\/p>\n<p>The  Magician uses the 4  elements of the tarot to direct his power, and he is  typically depicted  with images from those elements. The episode I took  these images from  had all of these elements. The colt is the wand for  this deck, the  ritual bowl the cup, the knife of course the sword. I  realize the  symbol for Azazel is not exactly a pentacle, but I preferred  to use  that rather than a pentacle from another image for continuity&#8217;s  sake.  The image of John shows his face resolved, ready to work his will  on  the Yellow Eyed Demon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/spn_tarot\/30338.html\">The Magician<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prompt: John Winchester Artist&#8217;s notes: The Magician was an easy card for me to envision.
