Argueably one of the most magickal cards of the major arcana the next charater the fool meets is the high priestess.
this card speaks of the inherent strengh there is in being female and the strengh and knowledge and wisdom that one can achieve in becoming close to ones feminine side whether you are male or female.
this card serves as a reminder that knowledge is what one knows, while wisdom is how one applies knowldge to ones life.
This card is very much the sister card to the magician, while he teaches 'outer skills' and crafts, tricks and talents. She teaches the importance of the inner journey, listening to ones inner voice and the growing wisdom that sprouts from reflection.
He is the sun and light and the outer realms, she is inner darkness, and intuitian that comes from the moon.
Our ancestors knew the strengh that came from woman hood the women where worshiped at the time of their menstruation, which usually coincided with the moon phases as being most magickal and intuitive.
while in the west periods are not still calssed as being dirty by most, they are disregarded and seen as a nuisense and at best seen as something that should be kept secret by most.
But never by witches, witches know the power that comes from the feminine within and celebrate.
this card teaches that whether you are a man or a woman now has come the time to trust your inner feelings about a situation, you can no longer disregard your true feelings if you want to keep your self safe.
you have the knowledge so use it wisely in your everyday life.
this card bodes well for your spiritual and religious life, you are on an enlightened path! remember you do not have to be completely open about everything you do, silence is golden, unless you know that people really want to learn, keep your precious knowledge hidden fir those that desverve it.
In the mythic set the High priestess shows the goddess Persephonie learning about her hidden side, in the kingdom of Hades. although all may seem dark, the sunlight is strong at the top of the staircase waiting for her to come back and share her wisdom with the rest of the world
