Painful lessons of endurance
learned by the dragon playing games
His hardened scales, now glowing,
were tempered by the flames.
He learned to draw the power
from the currents of the sun;
He knows the sorrow of defeat
by the battles he has won.
~ ~ ~
Because you’ve passed the trials by fire,
good things will come your way.
You’ll find a sense of joy and freedom
and wealth will have its say.
Life again turns positive
by events and lessons learned.
The symbols in the dragon’s fire
declare the wheel has turned.

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.

I may be repeating myself LOL, but in reading this series, it has helped me to understand the meaning of the major arcana with much more clarity than any book or online site that I've read...so, I thank you for working so hard on these!! and so very well done I might add!!

Your personal dragon has defeated the evil you were once vulnerable against. You have persevered and won the battle. This is such a great series of poems!! I'm ready to see more!!
