Card of the Day

The High Priestess.  The High Priestess can also be thought of as Persephone, Artemis, or Isis from mythology.   The imagery in the card alone holds a good deal of revealing detail.  The pillars represent the light and the darkness.  She is wearing Isis head piece which symbolizes the triple goddess, and the blue on her robe is to illustrate knowledge.  In the background, there is a tapestry with pomegrantes.  In the myth of Persephone the pomegrante holds a lot of meaning.  Persephone ate a seed of a pomegrante offered by Hades, and she must forever return to the Underworld every year.  Also, the solar cross between her breasts is to show the balance between male and female.  All of these details express how important this card is.  The High Priestess is the symbol for knowledge, serenity, and understanding.  She can be thought of as the guardian of the unconscious.  When you get this card, look for areas in your life that need balance or wisdom.  Don't make rash decisions.  Weigh your options.  Also pay attention to your dreams and intuitions.  Whether a male or female gets this card, the High Priestess can point to a greater and wiser change in your life.  Maybe balance is needed or knowledge needs to be sought after.
