What is the woman who sits at the centre of our reading dreaming into reality?
What is she envisioning with her contemplation, her attentiveness? What fronds of awareness is she sending out in order to gather information so subtle that it is often dismissed?
What information do you have the ability to gather towards yourself that is so subtle you often doubt, then dismiss, it?
The High Priestess is receptivity. She is a ‘cosmic antenna’ for what is not yet manifest, and which cannot be examined by the five senses.
The High Priestess is the archetype that is active in us when we are tuned into our intuition — when we are attuned to the forces that shape the universe but which remain out of eye-sight and ear-shot.
“I can feel it in my bones.” “My spidey-sense is tingling.” “I can’t tell you why; I just know.”
These are the phrases that come to us when we are in High Priestess mode. And this mode has two different faces to it, shadow and light.
