Interactive Tarot Online Reading for The High Priestess

Your Chosen Card – The High Priestess Upright Rider Waite Deck

When upright, the High Priestess represents feminine intuition and empathic sensitivity. She gives you access to hidden knowledge (symbolized by the body of water on the card), and she encourages balanced judgment through intuitive awareness. Now is the time to quiet your mind and open yourself to the inner wisdom that lies within. Pay special attention to your dreams and intuitive hunches. In this way, you can gain access to something unrevealed or not yet known about your future plans. In the words of Einstein: ‘But there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance, and this Einfühlung is developed by experience.’ 36

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Portable Magic: composed of the repeated suit symbol. The scenes on the number tarot cards in a modern deck such as the Rider Waite Tarot express, in a dramatic visual way, the meanings of the tarot cards according to the personal interpretation of the deck designer. It is regrettable that many who use modern decks mistake these interpretive scenes for the primary meanings of the numbered suit tarot cards, rather than basing their understanding on the numbers themselves.

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: Former president Bill Clinton was born on August 19, 1946. Thus, his birth cards are found by adding 8 + 19 + 1946 = 1973, and then reducing 1973: 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20. Clintons personality card is 20, Judgment (XX), and his soul card is 20 reduced: 2 + 0 = 2, the High Priestess (II).

Elements of the Psychic World: Traditionally a coven kept only one Book of Shadows, kept safe by the high priestess or priest. But today individual witches have their personal Books of Shadows in the form of diaries or notebooks, often now on hard drive and disk.
