When the High Priestess Witches Tarot appears in a Tarot spread, it usually marks a time of initiation and learning. The Virgin Goddess is testing you. Be wise and listen to her thoughtful words. This card is a reminder to quietly and modestly seek occult knowledge and turn inward. Use your intuition and trust your instincts. Now is not the time to let your emotions rule you; instead, it is an opportunity to grow and to gain real insight and understanding. The High Priestess teaches you to be strong, wise, and steadfast. She silently shows you that to gain true wisdom, you must remember to always use your magic carefully and from a neutral point.
The High Priestess Witches Tarot is the guardian of the unconscious who sits in front of the thin veil of indeterminacy – the only thing that separates us as humans from our inner world. Hidden inside her is the secret of all things. She is the gentle feminine element to balance with the masculinity from The Magician. The archetype for the feminine element in the Tarot is divided equally between The High Priestess and The Empress. The High Priestess is an unpredictable mysterious element that women often show, especially in societies that focus on materialism and traditional customs. Meanwhile, The Empress card symbolizes the absolute role of women in society.
In a Tarot spread, The High Priestess Witches Tarot challenges you to dig deeper, look for things far and beyond what the current evidence offers, to dissect matters that are just the surface to find things covered in mist. She also asks you to rethink your unlimited potential and remember the limitless possibilities within you. The High Priestess can symbolize a silence that requires waiting and accepting everything. To achieve a goal does not necessarily require action. Sometimes silence is just what it takes for things to flourish when the time comes.
