The Priestess
The Priestess (or High Priestess, Papess, Pope Joan,
Isis) is numbered two. This is the representation of the
Goddess. She is the complementary partner of the
Magician, possessing all his skill and ability, but with
far more insight and psychism. She is more subtle yet
somehow far more noticeable.
She is almost always shown with the Lunar Crescent,
conveying her natural affinity with the forces of Nature
and natural cycles. The Magician generates his own
power, whereas the Priestess draws upon the forces of
life itself.
She sits between two pillars with veils suspended
between them - it is the Priestess who allows us to
penetrate the innermost secrets of life. She is also the
bridge between our conscious and Higher selves, by
teaching us through our dreams and our subconscious. It
is in our subconscious that we hold the keys to the
Universe.
Working with The Priestess
The Priestess rules our intuitive faculties. She helps
us to see what is really in front of us, rather than
seeing what appears to be there. She's a gentle and
tranquil influence who can help us develop our inner
psychic abilities.
So on her day, the best thing that we can do is practise
entering into the silence in order that we can 'hear'
our intuition. Spend a little time in quiet
contemplation, still the incessant chatter that is part
of everyday life, and just let your mind release the
things it knows about that you haven't had the
opportunity to catch up with recently.
This is something that so many of us don't make time to
do often enough. As a result, we miss an enormous amount
of information that we pick up through every waking
hour, and store automatically. Our ancient ability to
read the signs of life still remains, whether we use it
or not. But often we can be taken unawares by material
that has slipped directly from our intuition directly
into the subconscious because we don't spend long enough
relating to subliminal messaging.
So, on the Priestess's day, try to remember to be open
to the hidden type of message that she is so adept at
assessing. Give yourself time to meditate and to listen
to yourself. You'll be surprised at what you learn!
Affirmation: My intuition works like a trustworthy
friend.
