Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

You may finally let go of a long, deeply held spiritual belief that has actually been standing in your way. Again, you must be careful where you put your trust in terms of spiritual leaders who may seem to have your best interests at heart but who may actually be looking only to line their pockets. You make a break from the past. This is actually a good thing, although it may be somewhat painful.

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: When I first started reading cards, I worked as a psychic on one of those 1-800 lines. To say it was an eye-opener is an understatement, but it was during this time that I learned the real meaning of the Ten of Swords in the blocked aspect. This card means it is over. Done, finished, never to be repeated. No matter how many times I explained this to some people, they just wouldn’t accept it or let go. There is something in your life that is done. It is over, and it is meant to be over and stay over. But you won’t let it be done, which means you are also blocking what is waiting to come to you once you drop the dead weight of the Ten of Swords.

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.
