Description

Staves, in particular those used for status, are often ornately ornamented, but are sometimes also deliberately bland-looking. Staves are also associated with wizards and other users of magic and sorcery. Staves are a traditional prop for the elderly and infirm, and this has led to their association with wisdom. Staves associated with wizards or magi are generally made of wood and are the height of the wizard. Magic staves were used as a tool to focus the energy of the wizard. Haraibou (literal translation meaning purification stick) were staves that were used by the miko (Japanese female exorcists) to fight demons in Japanese lore.

The ability of a staff to perform wonders is also featured prominently in the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Moses and Aaron, in their task to liberate the Hebrews from Egypt and deliver them to the Promised Land, employ staves. The staves are capable of performing miraculous feats to demonstrate the power and authority of God.
