Card Description

Virgo/Mercury.

Archetype

The Priestess.

Image

In the distance on a hill stands the Acropolis, to which a road leads. A woman in light clothing has erected an altar of hewn stone. On the stone is a drawing of Taurus, meaning she has tamed the forces of nature. On this altar she has placed a cup with fire and offerings: a sheaf of wheat, clusters of grapes, a basket of fruits - the fruits of her labor.

Background Scene

In the background are fields from which the harvest has already been gathered. It is autumn, part of the harvest should be dedicated to the gods. The Priestess has placed offerings on the altar, lit the fire, and established connection with the gods. From the smoke appears the Caduceus - symbol of Mercury, healing, health.

Spiritual Connection

Thus, a connection through reason with the higher world is manifested through a certain ordered sequence of actions - ritual.

Symbols and Colors

The color of the card is yellow - the color of gold, which has been perceived since ancient times as frozen sunlight.

Seasonal Symbolism

This is the color of autumn, the color of ripe grain and withering leaves. The Acropolis - city of gods, connection with the divine. The altar - ritual. Taurus - sign of taming nature. Cup with fire - sacrificial fire. Offerings: wheat, grapes - sacrifice for future harvest, gratitude to the gods.

Sacred Symbols

Light clothing - sign of purity. Symbol of the Caduceus in the background - fertility, healing, medicine, harmony. Serpents - symbol of wisdom. Staff - symbol of power over nature. Wings - harmonious development of spiritual and material.

State of Being

Sensing the divine in the mundane. We bring order; when our material world (Taurus on the altar) is ordered, cultivated and through sacrificial fire rises, connects with higher spheres.
