The High Priestess
The High Priestess invites inward exploration and the cultivation of quiet, solitary wisdom through trusting personal experience rather than external answers or organized religion. She embodies veiled wisdom—a liminal space where opposites meet and intuitive thoughts arise and expand. Listening to her stillness grants strength and conviction for future actions and supports spiritual evolution and deep knowing. Reversed, the card warns of vanity, shallow or zealous attitudes, a disconnect from spiritual intuition, and ignorance.

Visual Description
A veiled woman sits within a large crescent moon that serves as a throne, wearing a translucent white veil over darker robes. Behind her a vertical split of dark and light curtains falls, and a pale full moon peeks through the gap. She holds a rolled scroll in one hand while the other rests on the crescent, and long streaks of light or veil descend around her. The foreground suggests a dark pool or floor with cool blue and green tones.
