The High Priestess

The High Priestess is the guardian of the unconscious.
She sits in front of the thin veil of unawareness
which is all that separates us from our inner landscape.
She contains within herself the secrets of these realms
and offers us the silent invitation, “Be still and know that I am God.”

The High Priestess is the feminine principle
that balances the masculine force of the Magician.
The High Priestess is the mysterious unknown that women often represent,
especially in cultures that focus on the tangible and known.

In readings, the High Priestess poses a challenge to you to go deeper—
to look beyond the obvious, surface situation to what is hidden and obscure.
She also asks you to recall the vastness of your potential
and to remember the unlimited possibilities you hold within yourself.

The High Priestess can represent a time of waiting and allowing.
It is not always necessary to act to achieve your goals.
Sometimes they can be realized through a stillness
that gives desire a chance to flower within the fullness of time.
