Who historically put magic in The Magician?

You would really like it 'down' here ... new stars, different orientation, the South Celestial Pole rotating overhead .... and what the indigenous here make of it.

When these two line up properly , its time to go hunting emu and eggs.

But I cant think of a card for the 'giant space emu' ... maybe if we shift it into Ophiuchus ?

I would like to actually see the 50 or so southern sky constellations I discovered on the Nuremberg Maps while looking for that sickle in the sky. Perhaps someone in the southern hemisphere could take a look at the star maps I posted on YouTube and comment if you can actually see the proposed former constellations, which are pictures of astrological/mythological figures.

The star groups seem defined, although some were invented before our current southern constellations. In the northern sky we might see the Big Dipper and not be able to see a bear, especially if you are near a city.

Here's that Saturnus with a sickle example:

'Former constellations' in the southern sky are going to be based on observations from Aboriginal peoples and wont correlate with your ancient star maps from northern Europeans with their mind set and mythologies.

But I'm sure that wont stop you from superimposing whatever all over it. What the people superimposed all over it down here has an intimate relationship with THIS environment, plant and animal movements, hunting, generation, tribal law and cultural business. Thats what gives it relevance .
