Tradition, lesson. A spiritual leader, enlightenment, awakening, serving the spirit. Formal education or training. New paradigms.

Shadow Prophecy

Obsolete systems or ways of thinking, dogmas. Rebellion against social norms. Abuse of power. Stagnation, egoistic leadership. The need for spiritual communion.

Finding Your Divine Truth

When you seek your divine truth, you create frameworks of belief that help expand your consciousness and justify your faith in this reality. If you are stuck in an old tradition or a patterned mode of action or being that no longer serves you, it's time to let go to make room for a better version of yourself. The Hierophant serves as a gate between the divine source and the seeker, so be open to new orders, perspectives, and teachers in your life. Look around and try to feel your own spiritual compass. Know that, while there is wisdom in the teachings of mystics, the voice of your own heart is the most significant. Find heavenly wisdom within yourself.
