Magickian By Dawn E. Lacey I fear not the hooded shadow That follows my every step I fear not the wicked lawless things That think me not intrepid I have no heart for folly at loss Of things mundane and nonsensical I cannot be strayed from the fiery path That ignites my true will, and shines upon my destiny I am capable of lust, but not of kind thought Malice nor integrity, do I labor upon Nor will I trust a foolish heart I will not be detained by the insignificant I am the Magus, the true Magickian I am the joy within the heart of the Fool I am the experience and wisdom of the Hermit I am the materialization of the hopes of the World I am the inborn power of the High Priestess I am the sullen dignity of the Hierophant I am the eternal change of the synthesis that is Death I am the unconquerable pride that is Strength Be kind to the old Magickian Who, by chance, may cross your path Give to this wanderer your undying loyalty And perhaps, to you, she will release The wisdom of the Ages —Dawn E.
