The High Priestess is a muse of intuition, mystery, and spiritual understanding that serves as counsel between spirituality and the Self - sometimes referred to as your ‘inner voice’. She exists in the realm of duality - the place where opposing forces meet and find balance - representing the culmination of experience and self-awareness that provides each of us a willingness to understand conflicting ideals.
Drawing this card counsels emotional awareness and balance between the forces at work in your life. This could be within a relationship, a work-life balance, or an idealistic balance. The High Priestess also cautions against blind faith, guiding you to accept the wisdom and energy others offer with thoughtfulness and foresight. Blind faith in anything is a risky endeavor that often leads to an imbalance within the Self.
