 The first staff of Gandalf the wizard speaks of his earthly nature. With his staff Gandalf pounds the earth as he walks and within it he carries his pipe.
Gandalf’s pleasure in the earth is woven into the staff. The staff is the wizard’s emblem. He carries it for the Shire and the peaceful folk of middle earth who love nature as he does.
The staff of Gandalf symbolises that he has chosen to be earthbound. When Gandalf holds aloft his staff he affirms his earthly commitment as an act of his own free will.
He could be sovereign but he chooses to be master only of himself. He accepts the limits and is proud. It is his pleasure. Holding aloft the staffhead Gandalf is telling us that though he is higher than us he is still ‘rooted’ to the earth
