The Fool The Magician The Empress Accompanying PAC

Very glad to finally be continuing this series. I love the High Priestess so I decided to go ahead and just knock this card out.

The High Priestess is a beautiful expression of divinity. She understands the secrets of the universe. Her knowledge is expansive and she ebbs and flows with the fluctuations of time & energy. She is the Seer. She is Empathetic but not overly so, The High Priestess is a woman with secrets. She is obscure, an enigma, you could never begin to fathom her or her secrets and the pleasures that lie deep beneath the surface. Her mind is expansive, she is an artist, an extension of spirit. She is unable to be pinned down to just one expression of energy. She is everything, she is your subconscious mind. Your darkest secrets, the most obscure knowledge. The High Priestess as a person can indicate someone who is deeply in tune with their subconscious mind. They understands how to passively manipulate the energy around them to draw in what they're looking for. They understand the role the subconscious mind plays in the manifestation of the world around them. Unlike the Magician who is using his tools to manipulate his surroundings- The High Priestess uses her mind to create what she desires. When The High Priestess appears to you in a reading it can mean a few things. There may be a secret or piece of knowledge on the verge of revealing itself to you or attempting to reveal itself to you through tarot.

We can also get inklings of what our intuition or spirit guides are trying to tell us based on what is clarifying her. IE, The High Priestess clarified by the 3 of wands & the 9 of pentacles could indicate that your manifestation is just over the horizon and to keep persisting. Or The High Priestess clarified by the 7 of swords & ace of cups could indicate your intuition is on point about someone you got a weird feeling about.

She can also indicate in some circumstances that someone is doing divination on you- specifically if someone who would be associated with the high priestess herself is divining on you. If the card is representing someone else this person could be someone who has a lot of secrets. Maybe even secrets about you or other people. This person has psychic abilities & likely dabbles in the occult. Can also be representative of an elevated ancestor, spirit guide, or even a message from your higher self. (if you are someone who considers themself to be a high priestess type)

The High Priestess as a whole touches on the idea of the subconscious mind and the expression and exploration of it. Historically WOMEN are creators. We literally birth life into existence to this day. So it's important to put this into perspective when we look at cards dealing with femininity. Feminine Energy is something that naturally creates her surroundings. She births into the physical realm what resides in her thoughts & feelings. So we can also apply this to the subconscious mind of The High Priestess whereas with The Empress it is more with sensual and creative energy. We need to consider that this card is associated with very lunar tones. The Triple Moon is even seen on her crown in many iterations of the card. She is a woman of the night, she walks with the beauty of the Moon & the mind. She is the connection between the magic of the subconscious mind and the beauty that is Women.
