The High Priestess (II)

The third card in the major arcana. You can read about the first two here; The Fool (0) and The Magician (I).

THE HIGH PRIESTESS

The unknown – Mystery – Secrets – The sixth sense.

When The High Priestess turnes up – she speaks of paying attention to our intuition and to trust it more than the obvious and logic solutions.

Look inside yourself, pay attention to your dreams, listen to your inner voice.

If she represent a person – it might be your mother, a female medium, a witch or a powerful, female boss/leader/chief. For a man she can represent the, at times, frightening female sides of himself, an independent woman that he can’t control or an idealized mistress that he can’t have a relationship to because she has no need of men – she may be interpreted as lesbian sexuality or a female mystery. For a woman she may represent the “my husband don’t understand me” situation or emotional isolation where the husband feel rejected and bitter.

She also represent the fase – the thinking period - before a creative period – like the unborn baby.

She is a world of secret ideas and inspiration, lust and curiosity, the virgin – untouched and full of possibilities to come. Be patient, wait until the right moment – she promise us knowledge – when the time is right.

Be aware though – of staying too long in this state of mind – take your inspiration and translate it into action.
