Invoked

The power of intuition, guidance from the unseen, skilled in the arts no matter if mundane or magical, feminine force of the ether.

Banished

Withdrawing from the Divine, blocked or mistrust of intuition, unjustified arrogance.

The Avatar of the Moon

The High Priestess is the avatar of the Moon. She is Aradia, Who teaches witches to trust in themselves and their gifts. Here she is adorned with the crescent Moon, with upturned horns, and she holds the Infernal Grimoire which contains all the secret knowledge of the Universe. Her eyes pierce the Veil and see into the unseen. Her head is surrounded by the mists that hide the Mysteries through which she sends out her consciousness, connected to the sphere of the Divine. She is the direct link between the seen and unseen, the High Priestess who knows the hidden roads of our magic takes to manifest.

Divinatory Meaning

If the High Priestess is invoked, she indicates a spiritual shift, a surge in the Witch Flame, that the connection between you and the Underworld is strengthening. You have access to forbidden knowledge and the Mysteries. Something is going to be revealed that was once veiled. There are Higher Forces at work, so trust your intuition and feelings. Look for signs or messages and pay attention to dreams. You are being called by the Thousand-Formed Moon, the Divine Feminine. This Force will help you nurture your spiritual potential and allow your Witch Flame to rage with inner illumination. Trust your instincts because your spiritual consciousness is speaking to you. Your psychic power is growing so make sure you are listening.

Banishing the High Priestess

Banishing the High Priestess means banishing your spirituality. Your connection is cut to the Sphere of the Gods and your power is waning. The banished High Priestess also signifies an abuse of power on an emotional level, an ugly arrogance that is undeserved. You do not trust your intuition because your guides are quiet. Take the time to reconnect, to mend the connection, and to reignite your Witch Flame. Because she is the Lady of Mysteries, when she is banished it signifies unnecessary drama, gossip, and rumors. Stay clear of these things and do not lend your energy to them. Destroy them; they infect your subconscious, block your illumination, corrupt you with hidden agendas, and weaken your natural power. Confront those who speak against you and make peace, or rise above them and blind them in your radiance.
