# THE HIGH PRIESTESS The High Priestess sits adorned with a crown composed of a circular sphere in the center, surrounded by two crescents. This represents the phases of the moon and also is associated with the archetypes of the triple goddess: maiden, mother, and crone. The cross on her chest suggests balance and spiritual connection. At her feet, a large crescent moon symbolizes her connection with her intuition and the divine feminine. In one hand she holds a script that reads “TORA,” which signifies divine law. Her other hand and part of the scroll are hidden, symbolizing secret knowledge or knowledge yet to be attained. She sits at the entrance of a temple between two pillars: a black pillar with “B” for Boaz, the pillar of strength, and a white pillar with “J” for Jachin, the pillar of stability. The black and white colors of these pillars exemplify duality. Behind her, her veil, which separates the worlds of the conscious and the unconscious, is decorated with pomegranates, representing the feminine, and palm trees, representing the masculine. In the background, the High Priestess is surrounded by water and her flowing robe also resembles water. This suggests she’s in tune with her intuition and influenced by the moon, as tides are. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Divine feminine, sacred knowledge, mysticism, intuition, education, mystery, creativity, fertility, lunar energy, motherhood, understanding **역방향 (Reversed):** Doubts, secrets, disconnection from intuition or self, deceit, repressed feelings, contradiction, spiritual or psychic blockage ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) You’re being called to listen to those little nudges you feel throughout the day.
