The Hierophant
The Hierophant embodies leadership grounded in rules, representing traditional religious and political systems when benevolent but becoming rigid and dogmatic when prideful. In its upright position, it signifies the value of mentorship and guidance—listen and learn from trusted advisors even if you disagree with their philosophy. Reversed, the card warns of abuse of power, hypocrisy, and the manipulation of the vulnerable through false belief systems. It can also signal a call to rebellion and the need to break oppressive rules when necessary.

Description
The Hierophant is a leader whose love of rules stretches to dark extremes. When good, he represents traditional, religious, and political systems. But when pride gets the best of her, she's rigid and rapidly resistant to change.

Good advice is hard to come by, but a mentor or someone you trust can be a helpful guide who helps you to solve problems and answer life's problems. While you may not agree with their philosophy, it's good to listen and learn from others.
Reversed
Oh, the horror! Too much power has fallen into the wrong hands. The forces in control lead weak minds astray using hypocrisy and false religion. It's time to rebel. Break the rules if you dare.
