THE HIGH PRIESTESS
The High Priestess is the consort of the Magician. Her powers are equal to his, yet different. Whereas the Magician needs the tools of the elements to work with in order to manifest his desires, the High Priestess requires nothing but her body, mind and intuition. Together, these first two figures in the tarot give rise to the third, the Empress – the birthing process.
The High Priestess signifies the power of intuition, and the transformation that takes place once you listen to your inner voice. She symbolises an attunement with the magic and mystery inherent in every facet of life. This is not something that the logical mind can grasp – it is too intangible and elusive, yet can be known on a subtle level and worked with.The High Priestess encourages you to follow your inner feelings, and ignore the voice of the mind. To enter the mystery hidden behind her veil, there is the need to surrender rationality, withdraw any tendencies to look at what is on the surface, and allow yourself to listen to your feelings. This card suggests that you follow your intuition, and understand that, if you act on it, you will be enabled to understand aspects of your situation that could not be seen or understood previously
Question to ponder: Are you now ready to follow your intuition? |
