Visual Description
A young woman kneels in the center, eyes closed and hands clasped in a meditative gesture, wearing a white robe and a red skirt. Yellow-orange flames curl around her lower body but do not touch her upper form. Above her hangs a thick sacred rope with paper streamers and two black crows perched on it, and a golden crescent moon sits centered at the top. Behind her is a grid-like screen or lattice, and a decorative golden border with small stars frames the scene; a banner at the bottom reads "The High Priestess."
