Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the High Priest is a wise, spiritually oriented guide to whom the querent has recourse. This person may be a kindly teacher, a mentor, or a spiritual adviser, not infrequently connected with a religious or academic setting. One role of the Hierophant is to perform sacred rites that pass traditional wisdom on to the next generation. The High Priest often officiates at ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, funerals, and the like. Because this priestly figure has authority to unite (‘hook’) couples in matrimony, this card can be a harbinger of marriage. In any case, when the Hierophant appears in a reading, you are likely to be dealing with the traditional values of your family, culture, or religion.

Reversed Cards: The Nine of Swords in the mirror aspect reminds me of the legendary dark mirror artifact that shows people their greatest fear. Maybe it should be said that it shows them the truth about the human experience, that we are nothing but rotting flesh that eventually will decompose, leaving nothing but bare bones. This in-your-face reminder of impermanence is enough to tailspin most people into a sudden victim state. But the truth is accepting one’s temporary nature is the only way to release the grip of suffering and find true inner peace. You could say that receiving the Nine of Swords in the mirror aspect is the next step along your path of enlightenment.

Complete Book of Tarot: For many years I used reversed cards in my tarot practice. More recently, however, I have taken to keeping all the cards upright. In doing so, I consider all the potential meanings of a card in a reading, both positive and negative. We can use the energy represented by any card in a constructive or a harmful manner. Commenting on the full range of meanings, including the potentially negative uses of an upright card, has the potential to empower clients to take responsibility for what is happening in their lives.
