Arthur C. Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The archetype of the magician starts from the same idea. It’s related to the magical and esoteric because it starts from introspection from which almost impossible and challenging ideas are born.

In fact, something that starts off as little more than a mystery ends up being an exceptional achievement. Something wonderful that helps and advances.

Philosopher, Walter A. Shelburne wrote a book entitled Mythos and Logos in the Thought of Carl Jung. Without a doubt, the image that stands out is that of the magician. Shelburne describes this archetype as a humble personality capable of accepting that they don’t know everything. They accept that authentic wisdom involves continuous learning.

Every time they acquire new knowledge, they reflect on it and pass it through a filter of intuition. They adapt all their wisdom to their own perspective. They can later transmit it to their environment in a more powerful and transformative way.
