Courting the maiden

[Ankh]

It is you as the Magician, the will, who decides what to seek. I know that is really one of the hardest parts, considering we have infinity to choose from!

Archetype study is really a magical experience and journey to take, Jade! I am so happy for you and your husband to be able to make this journey together!

Here are my two cents or thoughts in regards to your above quote. I would exchange the word "what" with the word "how". The unconscious mind is indeed a vast ocean to seek from. So what will you seek? But since she is the one who reacts to all catalyst or whatever insults and moves the self, and since the veil is permeable, her reaction then is presented to the Magician. It is now his turn to play. Will he manipulate, control and repress her who is already perfect? Or will he court, learn to love and be patient with her? The catalyst is the tool, in my understanding, to the process of evolution. In positive polarization, the fusion, or union between these two is the goal, so that those seemingly two, divided by the veil, will once again become one. Because the mind is one mind. There are no two minds. But it is indeed created to have different parts, like Potentiator and Magician, and still it is just one mind. Like a story or a book which contains different chapters and characters and events, but is one book. For instance, the Lord of the Rings is not a story about only Frodo; it is also a story about Sam, Gandalf, Sauron, and many, many others; it is also a story about a magical land, magical beings and a magical ring(s). And so is the mind, which contains different "characters", magical land and magic itself, which seems divided like the rest of the world around us, but in reality, all that is only one. That's why it is perhaps called "illusion". 

Anyways, my opinion is that the role of the Magician is to decide how to pursue this magic, how to seek what it wants to seek. When He decides to tread on his magical quest or journey, his companion is High Priestess. It is Her land. And the manner of how He decides to treat Her, is what decides what She will show Him and where She will take Him. The goal of this journey is for them at the end to become One (in positive polarization).

I find these studies so interesting! Wish I had more time for them. Good luck you two!
