The High Priestess Description
A woman sits calmly above all her worries, her calmness represented by the way she dips her feet into a large bowl of holy water, keeping her head relaxed.
Above her head, two crescent moons represent great intuition that is obtained and retained by an owl, a symbol of wisdom and intelligence.
The cloud that covers the owl is a symbol of the times when the mind will be closed and hidden behind anxiety and fear.
The sun’s rays pour down on her and are a blessing from the divine, giving her strength. In her hand is a scroll of knowledge that deals with the changing situations of the heart.
She sits in between yin and yang symbols, balancing both the opposites calmly, and showcases that the line between what is truly good and bad is very narrow.
The rock and rubble surrounding her represent how calm she is when dealing with any situation.
NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.
