[high priestess]

From the Tarot card, the High Priestess is:

Oh Dear one,

i am sorry for this pain you are feeling. Can you access the akashic records on these issues and see alternatives there? i see your aura is way out there, with you simply dissipating into the void.

Pull in. Sit with this pain. It is the pain of rebirth. Again.

Here is what else i am getting. The her you are, and always were, to serve, is no one physical female but it is the divine feminine Herself. You are a high priestess and that is an onerous position and one of much grief and loneliness. It literally is your vocation and your calling which your higher self has already answered. You agreed to this and took it on in such a way and form as to serve her without destroying the Divine masculine in the process, which is the fear of the dis-integrated male, (and has resulted in 7000 years of repression of the feminine), and the unfortunate process of the enraged female in our world of duality. You are the high priestess of the integrated goddess / god. It is such a painful thing this initiation and may not be yet complete, and the only way to non-pain is to completely engage yourself in the service to the Divine feminine, to Kauai, Gaia, to your 8D ascension portals as they spread and expand, to the sacred principles of life on this planet as it ascends, with all entities and other dimensional beings watching.

You are now center stage. Total selfless service is what she is demanding, with no concern for your self other than as of the utmost value to her as her presence and voice on Gaia at this crucial time.
And the choice is yours completely.

Goddess knows that being in her service in this most intimate way is hugely painful unless one surrenders completely, and even then, the truth of being [mankind] and goddess in one body is what we all have tried for millenia to escape. We cannot escape for it is what we really are, [mankind] and Divine, physical in all our pain and dis-ease, and totally beyond the world and it's cause / effect all at the same time.

i have been in this dark place too, looking the same decision in the face, and i manage each time to just stay low until i find the next beam of light from the Sun and the next song of the birds. It is the face of the crone that you are seeing and she beckons us all to peace in the darkness, but the darkness always becomes the light, and immediately upon it's darkest moment, the shift occurs. This is the transformational magic of the crone. When the light is gone, she holds out her hand, and we step back into the dawn. Please consider what has been sent for you here. You are immortal. You know that.

-- a sister crone

Take a good look at the High Priestess card and you will receive a great deal of messages she conveys. Foremost, she conveys a message of understanding. Even her posture indicates she is established in a position of knowledge. Her scroll holds esoteric knowledge. She determines the manner in which the knowledge should be expressed, and only she decides to whom, and how much knowledge is extolled.

Much like the Magician, the High Priestess is unquestioning of her knowledge and power. There is no question of source or validity - her knowledge simply "is." She is aware of the motions of nature, the movement of spiritual matters, and she has accute awareness of the stirrings of the mind. She is vitally tapped into the flow of ancient knowledge. She instinctively understands the innerworkings and connections between nature, philosophy, science and religion.

When we pull the High Priestess card for ourselves or for a querent, it is an indication that we are in communication with the unseen forces. We must realize these unseen forces are greater than ourselves, and our ability to access this energy is a great responsibility. We must understand that we are all psychic, just as the Priestess. However, only those who respect the gift of psychic awareness and utilize the gifts [siddhis], and the knowledge beneficially acquire the noble presence and demeanor of the Priestess.

As you may have guessed, the Priestess Tarot card meanings are not straight-forward. As she is somewhat of a mystery herself, she requires all those who come to her to be worthy of her meaning, and earn the honor of understanding her. Trust that when you pull the High Priestess card there are undercurrents working within you that will blossom into intense and beautiful experiences. All that is requested of you to experience this blossoming is an awareness of and respect for the higher forces at work in the universe and within you.

Key Symbols: a few select symbols that can help us further define the Priestess Tarot card meaning.

Cross: The ancient Greeks created this symbol with all legs of equal length and size. One of the simplest symbols, and used since ancient times, it represents several things to different cultures. In ancient Greece it is an emblem of the four elements. In the ancient Middle East, the symbol represents the four directions (north, south, east, west) and the four winds. Even the ancient Aztecs used this symbol to represent the meeting place of god (at the cross-section). The High Priestess [bares bears] this symbol at her heart - meaning that at the heart of her very being she is intimate with the ways of nature, knowledge, and Goddess. The unfolding mystery of life is the core of her knowledge.

Moon: The moon lays at her feet - her foundation is the fluctuating night emblem that symbolizes motion, illumination, fertility, and even lunacy. Many decks even depict the moon illustrated upon the Priestess forehead. At her head and at her feet are the attributes of the moon - her thoughts are illuminated by the secret power of the moon, and her her path is guided by the pull of the moon. The moon is all about intuition, psychic force, unseen energy. When we have hunches, ideas, or impressions that "come from nowhere" this is "moon power" at work. The moon lives in the darkest of places so she must be triple clear in her messages through the night. The moon brings clarity of mind, heart and spirit - but there is a price if we are not careful. Being too swayed by the power of the moon can lead to erratic behavior or even pyschotic episodes. This is why the High Priestess is such a strong figure - because she not only heeds the message of the moon - she also harnesses its power.

Scroll: Everybody wants to know what is written in the scroll the High Priestess cradles closely to her womb, but only she knows, and it's not likely that she'll give up the information. The fact is the scroll contains information that she protects. It contains knowedge of esoteric, occult, philosphical revelations that if placed in the hands of one who has no understanding or respect for what he/she is holding - tremendous damage would be done. This is why she holds it so close to her - she knows that knowledge is both a killer and a savior. There are some theories that the scroll is the Akashic records which contain the records of all-that-has-ever-been for every soul in existence. Whatever the actual contents, be sure that the Priestess is forever on guard - keeping the secrets in tact until our minds are ripe for the opportunity to receive the knowledge she commands.
