We chose Coyote to represent The Magician for its playful cleverness and smarts. Celtic tribes believed coyote could travel anywhere including the Otherworld where it accompanied the spirits of the dead. Coyote Magician reminds us we are magical creatures and have everything we need to bring what we want into the world.
