The High Priestess

Between a thought and an action, there’s a gap—the more you look into this mysterious abyss, the deeper it goes. The High Priestess asks that you explore what’s known as the subconscious. This well of wisdom isn’t just yours. We all have access to the same information, though some of us ignore it because we can’t see it. Represented by a monster in Spoopy Tarot, this archetype was here before anything else, so they’ve seen it all. Throughout the highs and lows, the beautiful extensions of grace and the ugliness of judgements, they remain constant. The monster asks that you trust your intuition especially when it’s quiet. They’re as powerful as an ocean still at night. The calm force behind this powerful influence is yours as well. Be still and meditate to reflect on how you feel. At this point, what you feel at the depths of your soul is more important than what you see in front of you. The High Priestess is number 2 of the major arcana, signifying that there is a choice to be made.

The High Priestess Reversed

If your intuition tells you to run away in fear, you should know that isn’t your intuition. When reversed, this card indicates that you’re not listening to your all-powerful inner voice and you’re getting carried away with ideas that have nothing to do with what’s real. Although it feels like you’re being swallowed alive by a bad pair of choices, withhold judgement. Most importantly, breathe. Soon The High Priestess will open an inner door that will show you how powerful the depths of your magic are.
