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.

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
