In this conversation, Britten is joined by returning guest Suprasensory Shahir for a wide-ranging meditation on magic and The Magician (both as an archetype and as the first card of the Major Arcana). Together, they explore how magic moves through individuals and groups, why it resists ownership or hoarding, and what it means to live in right relationship with power. Britten also shares context around The Magician's Table, including Shahir's unprecedented return as a 13th Reader for 2026, and reflects on why presence, resonance, and devotion (rather than credentials) are the true thresholds for this work.
Topics They Cover:
Magic and The Magician as an archetype, and the tarot card that inspired The Magician's Table
Why magic wants to circulate, move, and be shared - not contained or possessed
Personal magic versus group magic, and how power moves through a collective field
Shahir's role as a 13th Reader, and what it means to hold space for others while participating fully
Why Britten trusts intuitive selection over logic when inviting 13th Readers
The structure of The Magician's Table: 12 Magicians, one 13th Reader, and why every seat matters
Presence as the primary commitment and the real work of showing up
A shared belief that everyone is magical
