High Priestess

“Unleash the power of your subconscious mind. Follow your intuition to unlock greater possibilities.“

The card pictures a nighttime scene that might scare you with its mystery and secrets. The highest priestess is sitting on the crescent, holding a pomegranate in her right hand. The pomegranate represents abundance, fertility, and divine feminine energy. This fruit relates to Persephone, who ate its seed in the underworld. Resultantly, he was forced to revisit every year.

The crown she is wearing indicates that she believes in magic. Her crown and the cross on her robe symbolize her divine knowledge and rulership. The partially hidden scroll in her left hand signifies that her knowledge is both explicit and implicit. She will share her knowledge only with those ready to trust their instincts and see beyond the material world. The black and white pillars behind her symbolize the duality of nature, positive and negative, evil and good, and feminine and masculine.

The highest priestess is the mediator between two opposite forces. She is the third pillar and the entrance point to the mystical and sacred world. She believes in the association of conscious and subconscious minds and states that accepting duality and gaining knowledge of both worlds is necessary to succeed in life. The crescent also reveals her connection with the subconscious mind, intuition, feminine energy, and moon cycles.

The magician is the guardian of the material world, and the conscious mind, the highest priestess, is the protector of the subconscious mind and the teacher of mysterious knowledge and spiritual realms. When she appears upright in your draw, she refers to your innate ability to transport between both worlds effortlessly.

She brings the happy news of spiritual enlightenment, refined intuition, and wisdom. She urges you to follow your instincts and listen to the instructions of your heart. It is high time to believe in your dreams and work to manifest them in reality. Remember, the answers you are looking for will come from within. You must tune into your subconscious mind and embrace your feminine energy.

The cosmos has sent its support by showcasing the highest priestess in your draw. Now it's your choice whether you will benefit from her guidance to connect with your higher goals or miss this chance. You are blessed with nurturing abilities. It is the time to share your blessings with others and uplift their spirits to achieve mutual targets.

Reversed High Priestess Meaning :

When the highest priestess appears reversed, she asks you to stop, think, and redirect yourself to trust your gut feelings. You might doubt your intuition. But doubts will only cloud your ability to see clearly. So follow the instructions of the highest priestess and identify the areas you are weak or lacking confidence in. Indulge in meditative practices to strengthen your connection with the divine realms and never shy from asking questions to gain clarity.
