The High Priestess
The High Priestess shows a cloaked, hooded woman seated on a pedestal with an ankh and a tabbed book in her lap, her bare feet dangling over water while a sword points into the water and the moon's reflection appears near her feet. She is flanked by black and white pillars marked B and J, with the triple goddess symbol above her head and a camel and mist in the background, emphasizing mystery and liminality. Keywords and correspondences—Wisdom, the Hebrew letter Gimel (camel), the Moon, and Cancer—highlight intuition, lunar magic, and the divine feminine. Upright, the card urges inner listening, meditation, trust, secrecy, and communion with guides and shamanistic visions; reversed, it warns of self-doubt, inauthenticity, misalignment with purpose, and allowing others to dictate your thinking.

Visual Description
A serene, robed woman sits on a stone seat wearing a white hooded mantle and a cross at her throat. A circular, geometric halo bearing triple-moon imagery glows behind her head, and a closed book rests on her lap with several keys hanging from its edge. Two tall stone pillars flank her, marked with the letters B and J, and a crescent moon cradles her feet on the right side while a sword lies planted in the ground to the left. The palette is muted grays and soft whites, and a scroll of script appears at the bottom edge along with a small watermark-like inscription.
