The High Priestess

The High Priestess represents wisdom, or an interest in knowledge, intuition and education. She is the feminine consciousness – the virgin goddess, the moon daughter. She challenges you to find what is hidden below the surface of a situation and remember the possibilities you hold inside. It signifies a time to uncover secrets in life because something in the unconscious is waiting to come out. Be guided by intuition and inspiration. She is a bridge to higher plane. Passive and receptive, she guards the gate of the unconscious and connects you to dreams, psychic powers, lunar cycles, and female mysteries. She is a subtle but powerful connection with the collective unconscious or world soul. Sometimes the High Priestess represents an enlightened and chaste woman. She can also represent a mysterious woman, a femme fatale, sexual and charismatic without emotional involvement. She also represents feminine principles and grace. She also can be a signal for the need for solitude, seclusion and meditation as well as wisdom and education.

Reversed - Superstitious, deluded. Dormant talents and wisdom. A waste or misuse of skills and knowledge. A negative influence affecting emotional stability and impairing judgment. Being deceived by a superficial show of knowledge. Ignorance and unwillingness to consider the advice of others. Lack of understanding. Shallowness and conceit.
