✦ Character and Imagery

The Warden of Staffs rides ahead of the Lord and Lady with his staff set ablaze. Its light illuminates the path and drives away enemies and malicious forces that may bring strife and negativity. He is a proud, young witch whose instincts are reactive. Like the fire he wields, he is ignited with chaotic, untamable energy.

✦ DIVINATORY MEANING

✦ When Invoked

When the Warden of Staffs is invoked, it indicates you or the person in question has a warrior nature. It shows a surplus of energy that makes the person exciting to be around. You are a loyal friend to those around you, and a fierce and terrible foe for your enemies, never one to back down from a fight. Usually, you are quick to react to situations, which may make matters worse, so try to control that inner fire that ignites those passions and try to keep as calm as possible. Depending on your circumstances, the Warden of Staffs can also indicate a quick and abrupt move, a change in location and scenery.

✦ When Banished

When banished, the Warden of Staffs warns of a jealous lover. While it is noble to appreciate the person you are with, it is destructive if that turns into controlling behavior that interferes with one's personal choices and freedoms. The fire that inspires can also be the fire that destroys, so this position also indicates a loss of energy and motivation that interferes with work and business. You may not care to put effort into the things you once did. All this negative energy around you has created an atmosphere of conflict and drama, and it has made you anxious and frustrated.
