Description
The High Priestess embodies intuition, mystery, and the connection between the conscious and subconscious realms. She is a guardian of hidden knowledge, representing the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface of reality. The crescent moon at her feet symbolizes her connection to the cycles of life and femininity, while her diadem signifies wisdom and authority. The scroll she holds, inscribed with "Tora," indicates that not all truths are immediately accessible—some must be felt or intuited. The pillars of duality (J. and B.) signify balance between opposites, and the veil behind her represents the veil of perception, hinting at the unknown. Ultimately, she encourages self-reflection and inner exploration, guiding seekers to uncover their own truths and spiritual insights.
