Today we ask the archetype of
The High Priestess
to provide us clarity.
Widen your perspective.
Take a moment to look at this collection of images before you read the meaning. Consider where your eye is drawn as you scan through, be with the curiosity of not knowing what the card means before you jump to my interpretation or the question of the day.

Here is what I think… The high priestess is my favorite tarot card. I love her because she is so mysterious. The high priestess points to the unknown and the shadow in the world. She does tahi chi with ancient truths and riddles as she spits poetry and dances back at us. What a beautiful depth she exudes. The high priestess invites us to stop for a second, stare into the void and to explore all we could never imagine.
intuition
mystery
the shadow and repressed parts
unknown truth
vision
ALLOW the question.
The HIGH PRIESTESS asks…
Where do you find the sacred?
Set up a comfy spot, close your eyes, and listen to me read this poem.
“May a good vision catch me
May a benevolent vision take hold of me, and move me.”
BE CLEAR WITH YOURSELF.
In your journal, write about a mystery that you have been engaged in.
What clarity has the unknown brought you?
TAROT BONUS: If you have a tarot deck and want to explore more about the high priestess, look at the minor arcana twos.
Two of pentacles for clarity around work/money/family - How was your work-life balance?
Two of swords for clarity around mental issues - How did you do with paradoxical thinking? How can two opposite things be true at once?
Two of wands for clarity around creative and spiritual things- Where did hope get you?
Two of cups for clarity around love and connection- What was healed in you?
Is it making sense yet?
