The Symbols on the High Priestess Card:
The High Priestess represents the Goddesses Persephone, Isis and Artemis. She is adorned in blue robes which represent knowledge. The cross on her chest is the balance of male and female energies. On her head sits the crown of Isis, a symbol of the Triple Goddess. It represents the three phases of the moon (waxing, full, waning) and the three phases of womanhood (maiden, mother, crone). On her lap rests the TORA, the book of law and knowledge.
The High Priestess is standing on the moon with her left foot. It represents her power over the moon, the ruler of dreams and intuition. She sits on a cube which means she has dominion over the Earth. Beside her are two pillars: Boaz and Jachim. They are the symbols for mercy and severity. Behind her hangs a tapestry, a barricade for those who are not initiated in the Esoteric. Only those in pursuit of higher knowledge will be able to venture behind the curtain to see wonders unknown. On the tapestry are pomegranates the symbol for Persephone which signifies the passage to other realms and the duty to return to the Earthly plane to apply it.
The Meaning of the High Priestess Card
The High Priestess card is the feminine aspect of the Magician card. While the Fool has learned to use the tools of the Earthly plane to glean success, the High Priestess teaches him the lessons of the Moon and the beauty of its hidden knowledge.

When you pull the High Priestess card it is time to take a tarot class, learn to read tea leaves or practice the art of meditation. Study and reflect on the metaphysical. Take a journey of inspiration and soothe your soul.
