the story:

Associated with the energetic signature of Mercury, Key 1 is a talisman of healing and for the adept in mind. With The Magician we are able to impact the world with a concentration of our individual will and power. Mercurial as they are, The Magician is the power of consciousness applied. This is the path of visions and magick, where we can develop seership qualities while helping us attain our intentions, wishes, and dreams. The true magician is an alchemist who can transform their life in a multitude of ways and activate change through mastery of the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth. Earth is contained in this formula by way of the herbs used — water is afforded through the menstruum used to extract the medicine within the plants, and the air and fire elements come forward through the qualities that the herbs used here offer us. Caraway is in the same family as others like Dill and Anise, and like others of this family, Caraway possesses a strong quality for strengthening the digestive system and moving stagnancy and coldness out of that area. Directly, this impacts the quality of how information is processed throughout the body, thus clearer connections are readily made. Caraway and other such aromatic herbs like Lavender and Sage have a direct impact upon the mental and psychological processes — they ease both receptivity and lucidity. Gentian root is another one that targets digestive function, and, with their strongly bitter quality, they aid in activating liver function which is an ideal work to further cleanse the body of toxins and fortify the aura for enhancing our magickal workings. Considering this key’s resonance with 1, it is useful to include these herbs which ultimately are targeting the solar plexus, the Sun (one) center within the body (along with the crown, which usage of Key 1’s formula activates). Furthermore, Lavender, Sage, Skullcap, and Hibiscus are very particular for balancing brain activity. Lavender is particularly relaxing to the senses, which can come in handy when one is overstimulated and may thus be experiencing a clouding of the thoughts. Combined with allies such as Sage and Skullcap, here is a strong synergy for mellowing vibrations and allowing a greater attunement to awareness through sensory experiences. Sage is specific for instilling a sense of wisdom and enlightenment, and with Skullcap, this is further pronounced as soothing to the nervous system while serving as anti-inflammatory throughout the body — ensuring that nerve signaling and connections can happen with more ease. Imbalances that respond well to key 1 include failure to recognize ability, blocked vision, restlessness, imbalanced emotions, and/or fear of taking on certain opportunities due to insecurity. Key 1 is a formula made to activate not only transparency within perception, perspective, and other cognitive and mental processes, but also meant to accentuate our capacity to co-create with the tools provided and gathered. As such, this is a great key to work with when one is diving into deeper and/or new study, so as to sharpen the mind. The Magician is an entity who recognizes the power in aligning themselves with the movement of the stars and the seasons of the Earth — often, The Magician is depicted with on hand pointing upward and the other pointing downward, suggesting “as above, so below”, so Key 1 is the remedy for those who can command with equilibrium.
