Staff of Sun and Wand of Song
by Elizabeth Barrette
Fire’s child
Bright and wild
Standing tall and strong
Warm and golden
None beholden
Staff of sun and wand of song
Family royal
Friendship loyal
Leading toward the light
Wanton stranger
Hints of danger
Keep the torch within your sight!
This poem was originally published in Joanna Powell Colbert's Tarot lesson #9. It was reprinted in the anthology Companion for the Apprentice Wizard.
