The Magus is the channel between worlds—the above and below, truth and desire, mastering duality through the creative use of elemental tools.
But what is the Magus themselves comprised of?
Are they not formed of Earth like the rest of us?
Made of dirt and spit and spark of Spirit, rising from the nothing that was once everything, the ouroboros of the Fool’s breath of life. The first container for pure potential. But not without awareness of what came before, what ground bore them, history encoded into their cells as the mysteries of the elements.
In my inaugural metal collection, Magus of the Dirt, the spark of the upcoming 2026 Magician year is honored in its connection to the infinite, in the everything that came before and brought us to this moment. Metal, bone, tooth and fossil—relics of our history as we set ourselves free into a new reality. We've cut, shaped, forged and polished. Now we sit in power, charged and ready, in gratitude and gratitude and gratitude, our bodies as an altar, covered in offering, dripping with the medicine of yesterday, grounding in a tomorrow we never knew we were always promised.
