celtic dragon-
Normaly the magician is a man, but here she definatly not! She's sitting at a table practicing her magic with lots of dragons around her. Lots of dragon ghosties floating behind and around her. She has control of the magic, and she looks rather smug about it. I would have guessed this was the high priestess card if it didn;t say magician on the bottom! The elements are a little confusing to me here. I see the wand and cup. But the sword and pentacles? maybe the candles base is pentacles because it looks like a gold or possibly clay base. In this suit swords are fire instead of air, so maybe that dargon head thing is a fancy knife with magic fire? This card is pretty, but a bit confusing to me.
Forest folklore-
Now this card is cool! The magician is performing. He's wearing fancy clothes and obviously trying to impress with his finery and neat trick. The sybolims here is alot more obvious. He's floating all the suits, a die and a little red ball. I get the die, but the ball is a bit beyond me at the moment. The snake has it's own tail in it's mouth, so theres the infinity thing, (Although personally i think an animal stupid enough to eat itself doesn't have a long survival rate, let alone an infinite one LOL) People also think of snakes as dangerous or scary, so this can also represent the darker side of the magian, and magic in general. Maybe conecting to the erpent in Eden. This particular magician also looks a bit like Matthew Broderick, but I'm sure thats just a coincidence. I love that his eyes are so wide open, he looks amazed with what he's accomplishing. It could also be he's looking at things with "eyes wide open" and seeing them differantly.
