1 - The Magician

The fool has grown within the magic.
    Now, a magician practicing her craft,
Her concentration draws the dragons…
    Subconscious/Superconscious – as before and aft.

The incense burns and the dragons form shape
    as astral and physical must intertwine.
The magician studies an ancient book;
    what she knows and learns must be combined.
~ ~ ~
You’ve discovered laws of magic –
    how faith and willpower bring you your needs.
Your energies harmonize your thoughts,
    and self-control determines your deeds
Study in what attracts you
    and practice your spiritual ways.
The Runic symbol of faith
    lends guidance to your days.

Author notes

I wrote this series last summer and began posting them. I took the prose version of the Celtic Dragon Tarot interpretations and put it in verse form. I'd also included the illustrations, but was asked to remove it because of the copyright infringement. I'd given full credit to Conway and Hunt and didn't claim them for my own, but there were apparently other legalities.  
So...for the legal beagles out there.... These are MY words, although they were inspired by Conway.

more to come....

    Very interesting! I especially liked the last stanza. I believe we can create magic in our lives (and that is just the beginning). Enjoyed your poem..looking forward to more of the same!

    The Star

    Whee! You rock! ^_^ I love the tarot, and when I saw the title, I was immediately curious, and now I'm glad I did. A series? I must look out for the others when I have the time, but here's a glomp from a tarot-freak! *glomps*
