The magician lives an interesting life, because he has a bright, one might even say - magical life. Much more is happening in the world than an ordinary person, closed in his planes of life, perceives: work - home - shop. In view of his broad outlook on life, a vision of not only some regularities of life (in particular, understanding the reasons for what is happening) opens up before the magician, but also the vision of spirits, deities, their influences, crafts and the vision of other people, their intentions, desires, etc..d.
If we talk about the responsibility of the magician, then he is born with some purpose, mission. He bears great responsibility for the land where he is, for the people around him, for the fulfillment of his destiny. And he answers not at some abstract posthumous trial, but before the living Gods, since he is their guide. The magician is a man of Power who realizes this Power here on Earth from a divine source, it flows through him. And so he improves the world around him. The magician's responsibility also lies in the fact that during his life he must make the world a better place than it was before his birth.
As for the freedom of the magician, it is unlimited: he can do everything to achieve his goal. But under this “everything” one should not perceive permissiveness. "Everything" is something that can be done without wreaking havoc on this world. Chaos itself does not exist, since it is an unconscious order. At the level of our life, we can sometimes observe a certain chaos, but if you look at all this at a higher level, the picture of what is happening will change, and this will be order. Not understanding or not seeing all the patterns, we perceive what is happening as chaos. The magician's task is precisely to rise to this higher level and explain, give understanding. And this will streamline the world, streamline the understanding of these processes and allow people to live happily.
So,…
Magic is not a hobby or an option for what to do in the evening on a full moon for a thrill. Magic is the meaning of life, its integral part. Power is not given to those who play magic, it serves the one who lives by magic.
And the one who has already entered the path of Magic will not turn back. Option, if I get tired of being a magician, I will become someone else - will not work. A person who once comprehended what is beyond the borders of our world will never be the same. And here we are not talking about coercion, but about the personal choice of life, where everything is possible.
