Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

Know that you have the answers that you need inside already. Time spent in quiet and in meditation will be helpful. If you still need direction, ask spirit and the universe for signs and signals. These can be as subtle as repeatedly seeing a phrase or hearing a song. You are not kept down unless you allow yourself to be kept down.

When the Eight of Swords appears, you may be holding yourself back because you fear moving into the future, or because you are wary of getting hurt by a new situation, or maybe for no reason at all.

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: It really is hard to picture this card ever giving off the energy of protection, yet for me this card hints at the same need for surrender we find in the Hanged Man: the need to block the physical sense so that other aspects of your inner knowing can be heard and acknowledged. Just like the Hanged Man, the image seems extreme, yet dont we always wait till something extreme happens to stop looking outside of ourselves to find the answers and solutions that are right inside us? Here in the protection aspect the Eight of Swords wants you to disengage from the physical world, to put yourself at odds with the senses and seek the inner divine knowledge that gets lost under the constant bellowing of the ego.

Many authors suggest that you decide in advance what you want reversal cards to mean before you do a reading. In this way, there will be no confusion about the meaning of a card that appears inverted in the spread. Here are some of the common ideas about what upside-down cards might signify:
