02-The Priestess – Reversed Thoth Deck

Your Chosen Card – The Priestess Reversed Thoth Deck

When reversed, the High Priestess warns that important information may be hidden or otherwise obscured from view. Perhaps you feel somehow blocked in accessing your intuition, or you may be choosing to ignore important gut feelings. You can’t quite find your way to the watering hole. Some aspect of the future as yet unrevealed may cause a delay or a change in plans.

Keywords Reversed: Superficial knowledge, escape into fantasy, inconstancy, daydreaming, inaccurate hunches, the spilling of secrets, suppressing one’s true feelings, ignoring one’s intuition, not heeding one’s inner voice.

Key II: The High Priestess (Female Pope)
Myths/Archetypes: Persephone. Cassandra. Pope Joan. The Virgin Mary. Sor Juana. Matris Spirituale. The Oracle at Delphi. Gestation in the womb.
Astrology: the Moon (ruler of the Water sign Cancer, the Crab)
Numerology: 2 (High Priestess) ~ 1 + 1 (Justice or Strength) ~ 2 + 0 (Judgment)

Element: Water

When The Priestess is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Priestess is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Priestess is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Fact(s) 10: Every reader develops his or her own method of interpreting the cards on the basis of experience and intuition. The Golden Dawn routinely abandoned a divination if the querent’s significator failed to appear in a spread in a way that clearly addressed the client’s concerns. It’s hard to be objective when reading for yourself or for people you care about. Remember that the doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient. When in doubt, it is wise to get a second opinion from an experienced tarot reader. As you become more skilled, your readings will become valuable resources others are willing to pay for, just as they would compensate any valued consultant.

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. Clinton’s 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.
