My Private Group: LoonWitch's Cauldon - stop by for a spell, stir up some magick and discover the magickal part of life! Website: http://www.loonwitch.com
The answer is YES of course you can. But that is certainly a short answer to a broad question.
The Magician #1 in the major arcana of the tarot represents one who has all the tools and all the skills, but seldom knows how to blend the two together.
If you look at some of the modern day "magicians" on television, doesn't it seem as though they all have quite an ego? Yes, but they are also illusionists, are they not?
Yup - and it takes the ego to create the magic - without a healthy ego your success may suffer, you may lack the drive you need to succeed in your work.
Believe in yourself. Shake hands with your ego and agree that sometimes you need it to drive you forward. Reach for your goals, marry the tools with the skills and embrace your empowerment.
