Earth Compass Tarot – Fire Path (South) Courts
Elder of Fire – The Flamekeeper
Keywords: Wisdom • Guiding Light • Legacy of Purpose
Archetype Role
The Flamekeeper is the master of fire — the one who has walked through every stage of passion, challenge, leadership, and transformation.
They no longer carry the flame.
They have become the flame.
Their fire is not wild; it is sacred.
They use it to illuminate, to inspire, to pass on wisdom.
They are the mentor, the visionary, the spiritual leader who holds the eternal flame of purpose for the community and for the generations to come.
They do not burn to be seen.
They burn to awaken.
