Miss Michele struggled to draw a card of the week this week. Several times I shuffled my deck. I even drew cards a few times. But none resonated as “true.”
This evening, down to the wire, I drew the High Priestess… and I realized that the tarot was telling me to trust my intuition – and trust the cards.
I had a conversation today with a woman I consider a mentor. I explained my theory of tarot to her… that the cards simply guide us through creating a future we desire. For instance, if the tarot portends an undesirable outcome, we can change our future by changing our course of action. If the cards say things will work out well … we believe they will. We create our own future.
Having said that, I find the tarot to be a powerful tool to inspire and motivate us – to help us view situations from new perspectives we may not have considered – and to uncover the Truth that, deep within our true selves, we know, but may want to ignore.
That, to me, is what the High Priestess represents. Our inner power to be our true self. To live our passion and to live with passion. To let our intuition guide us and to be open to all the ideas the Universe may send our way.
The High Priestess has already manifested in my life this week in my conversation with my mentor. I’m excited to see what else she will bring me.

One Response to “The High Priestess and Tarot Theory”
For me, The High Priestess represents bringing order, routine, and systems into the chaos. Because I have a creative mind, I tend to be rather haphazard when doing anything and she always appears when the chaos is becoming overwhelming. She reminds me that it is important to make time to streamline, automate, and create systems, routines, and procedures that reduce the clutter and confusion. She invites a sense of order into our activities and believes in simplifying life.
The card that reminds me to listen to my intuition or to inner guidance is the Seven of Cups. I see that card as a reminder that I already KNOW the answer and have to stop avoiding it.
