The High High Priestess rules our intuitive faculties. She helps us to see what is really in front of us, rather than seeing what appears to be there. She’s a gentle and tranquil influence who can help us develop our inner psychic abilities. So on her day, the best thing that we can do is practise entering into the silence in order that we can ‘hear’ our intuition. Spend a little time in quiet contemplation, still the incessant chatter that is part of everyday life, and just let your mind release the things it knows about that you haven’t had the opportunity to catch up with recently. This is something that so many of us don’t make time to do often enough. As a result, we miss an enormous amount of information that we pick up through every waking hour, and store automatically. Our ancient ability to read the signs of life still remains, whether we use it or not. But often we can be taken unawares by material that has slipped directly from our intuition directly into the subconscious because we don’t spend long enough relating to subliminal messaging.
So, on the High Priestess’s day, try to remember to be open to the hidden type of message that she is so adept at assessing. Give yourself time to meditate and to listen to yourself. You’ll be surprised at what you learn! In readings, the High High Priestess poses a challenge to you to go deeper – to look beyond the obvious, surface situation to what is hidden and obscure. She also asks you to recall the vastness of your potential and to remember the unlimited possibilities you hold within yourself. The High High Priestess can represent a time of waiting and allowing. It is not always necessary to act to achieve your goals. Sometimes they can be realized through a stillness that gives desire a chance to flower within the fullness of time.

Portable Magic: If this direct application of the planets to the trumps linked with the Double letters makes such sense, why did Mathers and the Secret Chiefs fail to adopt it? The answer is obvious when a comparison is made between the symbolism of the trumps and the planets. They do not fit together harmoniously. For example, to place the first astrological planet, the Moon, on the first Double letter would result in the planet the Moon being linked with the Magician. The Moon is a feminine planet, whereas the Magician is a strongly masculine trump. Similarly, the second planet in their natural order, Mercury, would fall on the trump the High Priestess. This also seems incorrect. Mercury is a masculine planet, and is associated with magic, but the High Priestess is a feminine trump and is associated with mystery.

Tarot Triumphs: In the early Renaissance, for practitioners of philosophical or Hermetic traditions, such a figure of female wisdom was not only acceptable but also essential to their cosmology. The headdress and book of the High Priestess were associated with the spirit of ancient teaching, and from that standpoint she could quite readily have been equated by different interpreters with Mary, Sophia, Isis, or the kabbalistic Shekinah,9 each a feminine representation of wisdom, and each current in different strands of teaching and thinking at the time.10 It is very unlikely, however, that the High Priestess would represent Pope Joan, an object of mockery, or Manfreda, a condemned heretic.11 She is not a historical counterpart of the Pope, either, or a renegade version of the Pope in female form. There is a case for associating her with Prudence, a later personification of Sophia, the spirit of Wisdom; some of her attributesbook and triple crown, for instancecan be found in imagery related to Prudence.12, 13
