A serene High Priestess sits between two tall stone pillars, wearing a golden crown and ornate jewelry with glowing blue gemstones. She holds an open book in her hands while another book rests on her lap. Soft light shines behind her, and a gentle mist surrounds the lower part of her flowing white and gold gown. The letters “B” and “J” appear faintly on each pillar, and the caption “THE HIGH PRIESTESS” is written at the bottom



The High Priestess — the second card of the Major Arcana


The stillness.


The knowing.


The moment when truth rises from within.


The High Priestess — the gatekeeper between seen and unseen.

She sits between the pillars of mystery, holding the book of hidden wisdom, illuminated not by the world — but by her own inner light.

She embodies intuition in its purest form.

Dreams, symbols, whispers, signs — she reads them all. She moves through quiet realms where the conscious and unconscious meet in balance.

The High Priestess teaches that the answer is never “out there.” It is inside you, waiting for you to slow down and listen.

She is the pulse of the Moon, the rhythm of water, the deep truth beneath every surface.

She is trust — trust in what you feel, trust in what you know without evidence, trust in your inner voice. Trust your intuition.


From My Deck: The One Celtic Witch Enchanted Tarot - The High Priestess

(created by yours truly)


If this card of The High Priestess could speak for itself, it would say:


“I trust myself — I trust what I feel. I am balanced. I am listening.

I follow my intuition and my gut feeling.

I pay attention to my dreams, symbols, and signs. The answers rise from within — deepest truth & knowing.

I reflect on myself. My conscious and unconscious mind move together in perfect balance.

I RECEIVE.”


Reversed Meaning

“I have lost myself. I am confused or full of hidden motives.

I am neglecting my spiritual needs. I’m not listening to my own thoughts and I feel disconnected.”

Abundance of Health, Happiness, Love & Prosperity to ALL.
