Sculpture by Lee Badger
Welded Weathering Steel
4 x 1½ x ½ ft. (H x W x D)
First card in a traditional Tarot deck, The Magician represents the ancient mystical principle
“as above, so below,” expressing the connection between spiritual and physical realms.
The Magician’s primary symbol is the lemniscate, the graphic infinity symbol for immeasur-
able properties and endless processes.
This sculptural “card” drops all of The Magician’s other emblems and portrays his infinity symbol with kinetic flipping heads, representing the way we spin together the threads of our lives from higher and lower influences.
Our heads turn over and over on an infinite treadmill creating an earthly reality from our higher thoughts and prayers.
