The High Priestess Tarot Card Description
The High Priestess sits in front of a thin veil decorated with pomegranates. The veil serves to block out casual observers and symbolizes the division between the conscious and subconscious worlds, the seen and the unseen. It is only open to the initiated. Pomegranates are a symbol of fertility, abundance, and the divine feminine. They are also sacred to Persephone, who was compelled to visit the underworld every year after eating a pomegranate seed there.
The entrance to this holy, mystical temple is marked by two pillars that stand on either side of The High Priestess (also associated with the Temple of Solomon). Boaz, which means "in his strength," is written on one pillar in black, and Jachin, which means "he will establish," is written in white. The pillars' masculine and feminine, darkness and light, and duality-symbolizing hues signify that to enter this sacred space, one must understand and accept duality.
The High Priestess is depicted as having divine knowledge and ruling over the universe by wearing a blue robe with a cross on her chest and a horned diadem (or crown). She holds a scroll with the letter TORA, which stands for the Greater Law, in her lap (according to A. E. Waite). The fact that it is partially hidden denotes that this secret knowledge is both explicit and implicit and that it won't be made public until the student is prepared to look beyond the physical world. The crescent moon at her feet represents her affinity with the divine feminine, as well as her intuition, subconsciousness, and the moon's regular cycles.

Upright High Priestess Meaning
The High Priestess is the protector of the subconscious mind and a teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries, whereas The Magician is the guardian of the conscious mind and the material world. The High Priestess, who resides at the juncture of the conscious and subconscious mind, has an innate ability to effortlessly transition between these worlds. She teaches you that deeper forces are frequently at work and that things are not always as they seem. She guides you past the flimsy curtain of awareness, giving you a profound, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened sensitivity to unspoken or hidden knowledge.
The High Priestess represents inner illumination, divine knowledge, and wisdom on a spiritual level. She appears in your Tarot readings when you have the chance to access knowledge buried deep within your soul and the barrier between the worlds is thin.
The best time to tune into your intuition is right now when you are still. Your innermost truth and "knowing" will hold the solutions you're looking for. As you explore the depths of your subconscious mind and tap into this inner wisdom, let The High Priestess serve as your guide. Through meditation, visualization, shamanic journeying, and being a part of spiritual communities, you can connect with your intuition and Higher Self.
Right now, your intuitive sense is helping you learn useful information and improve your connection to your subconscious. Allowing yourself the time and space to meditate and pay attention to your inner voice will help you find the solutions to these problems, not through thinking and rationalizing but by tuning into and trusting your intuition. Inspect your life for any potential imbalances or areas where "flow" and ease is lacking.
A time of enhanced psychic insight and intuition is currently in effect. The High Priestess gives you more inspiration to keep moving forward and have faith that you are on the right course if you are honing these abilities. Your intuition will start to flow more when you pay attention to it.
The Divine Feminine, which is your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom, is being called upon you, and The High Priestess is a sign of this. Whatever your gender, you must balance and integrate your masculine and feminine energies, and The High Priestess's presence indicates that your sacred feminine requires your immediate attention. Feel instead of thinking. Instead of battling it out, cooperate. Make rather than take away. Even though the masculine energy around you might seem to be stronger, trust your Divine Feminine energy. Instead of concealing your capacity to nurture, trust, sense, and empathize, be proud of it.
Reversed High Priestess Meaning
You are urged to be still and turn inward to hear your voice and wisdom by The High Priestess Reversed. When you should be concentrating on what is best for you, you may be swayed by other people's opinions or drawn into their drama. It's time to calm down and remove yourself from the outside world so you can observe what your inner guidance is telling you right now.
Do you find it difficult to fully trust your intuition? Perhaps you doubt your ability to tune in and receive this powerful information because you think you're silly or guilty of following your intuition. You might also hide your intuitive abilities from others out of concern for their opinions or judgments. If this strikes a chord with you, know that your intuition is your superpower and is there to lead and assist you. Trust the Universe and permit yourself to flow with its energies. Give up and let go.
Trust that The High Priestess is always there for you when you need her by visualizing her as the serene center inside of you that is untouched by your surroundings. Find a calm area and meditate there so you can hear her voice whenever you feel like things are just getting too crazy. The solution will come to you if you stop worrying or overthinking your problem and instead make space for your intuition to communicate with you.
Finally, The High Priestess' secrecy may point to rumors and unspoken plans. Others might be withholding information from you or spreading untruths about you while speaking behind your back. Have an open and honest conversation to bring these secrets to the surface and address them rather than making assumptions or delving into the depths of paranoia.

The Hermit Tarot Card Description
On the peak of a mountain, The Hermit is alone. The snow-capped range represents his spiritual mastery, growth, and achievement. He chose this path of self-discovery and as a result, has attained a higher level of awareness.
He holds a lantern with a six-pointed star inside in his right hand; it is the Seal of Solomon, a symbol of wisdom. The lamp illuminates The Hermit's path as he walks, but only for a few steps rather than the entire journey. He must take the first step to see where he should go next, knowing that not everything will be revealed at once. The Hermit holds a long staff (a symbol of his power and authority) in his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, which he uses to guide and balance himself.

Upright Hermit Meaning
The Hermit indicates that you are taking a break from daily life to direct your energy and attention inward and discover the answers you seek deep within your soul. You recognize that your most profound sense of truth and knowledge is found within yourself, rather than in the distractions of the outside world. You leave the mundane behind to embark on a journey of self-discovery guided solely by your inner wisdom and guiding light. Now is an excellent time to go on a weekend retreat or sacred pilgrimage, or to do anything else that allows you to reflect on your motivations, personal values, and principles, and get closer to your authentic self.
The Hermit invites you to retreat into your private world and enjoy a profound sense of seclusion and introspection. You understand that you must embark on this journey alone or with a small, intimate group of spiritually-minded individuals. Allowing yourself to tune in to your inner, guiding light will allow you to hear the answers you seek and grow wise beyond your years. Find your light, let it shine on your soul, and carve your path. You'll see what's ahead of you - not for miles and miles, but just enough to know where to go next. Take it one step at a time from there.
The Hermit frequently appears when you are at a crossroads in your life and contemplating a new path. You may begin to re-evaluate your personal goals and change your overall course through meditation, contemplation, and self-examination. You will see your life through a more spiritual lens, and some of your priorities will shift as a result.
The Hermit also represents the desire to withdraw from a consumerist or materialistic society to concentrate on one's inner world. Have you seen (or read) the film Into the Wild? Christopher McCandless, a top student, and athlete abandons his possessions, donates his entire $24,000 savings account to charity, and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness alone. While his story has a tragic ending, his journey into the wilderness was similar to that of The Hermit, who seeks answers within and knows that only quiet and solitude will bring them.
Finally, The Hermit may appear as a spiritual mentor in your life to help you raise your vibration and expand your consciousness. The beauty of this mentor is that, while he is an expert in his own right, he will teach you how to look within yourself for answers.
Reversed Hermit Meaning
The Hermit Reversed can mean one of two things: you are not giving yourself enough time for personal reflection, or you are giving yourself too much. If you're having trouble connecting with your spiritual self, The Hermit Reversed suggests making more space to meditate and reflect. It is time to go deeper within yourself and rediscover your greater purpose on this planet. You might have been so preoccupied with day-to-day issues that you forgot to listen to your inner voice. The Hermit asks you to look deep within your soul to help you find your way again and to focus on spiritually rebuilding yourself.
If you've already been spending a lot of time reflecting on your inner self, The Hermit Reversed may indicate that you're going too far with your isolation. Are you becoming a hermit and isolating yourself from others? Do not underestimate the importance of staying connected with others, even while on your spiritual journey. Consider other people's needs as well. You don't want to become so preoccupied with yourself and your problems that you neglect your family and friends.
The Hermit Reversed can indicate unwanted isolation in a relationship reading. For example, one person may prefer to be alone or withdraw from the relationship, whereas the other wishes to strengthen the bond. You must respect each other's requests for space while also being available to support each other as needed. Alternatively, the prospect of being alone is so frightening and unappealing at this time that you do everything possible to stay together. Despite the difficulties in your relationship, neither of you wants to be apart from the other. It's almost too soon to be apart, and you both want to figure things out together. If you have separated, The Hermit Reversed may indicate that you are ready to reconcile.
