5 - The High Priest

The black and white of the dragons
    mirror a balance of evil and good.
The High Priest knows how to channel these forces
    to create what he knows he should.

He draws knowledge from the astral plane
    with the vine-wrapped staff he chooses
And directs his will for the good of the earth
    through the crystal-tipped wand he uses.
~ ~ ~
Actions come with consequences;
    be careful how you choose.
Remember, it’s good to follow the rules…
    For if you don’t, you’ll surely lose.
An inner teacher introduces himself
    and Responsibility becomes much clearer.
Your dreams and visions of events in this life
    bring the spiritual world much nearer.

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....

    I like the flow of the second verse. To me the third seemed to get stuck in the rhyme a little bit.
