II. High Priestess
Intuition, mistery, inner wisdom
“I trust the feelings within,
my inner voice will guide me."
Sometimes, clarity doesn’t come in the form of answers. It comes in the stillness between the question and the answer. Like the moment between inhaling and exhaling. Or like two cats, one black and one white, sitting quietly beneath a crescent moon. No words are exchanged. No action is taken.
Right now, you’re being asked to pause and to resist the urge to rush toward understanding. There is always a time to act, to plan, to speak, but there is also a time listen. Not to the sounds around you, but to the quiet underneath.
Truth doesn’t always come dressed in facts. It doesn’t always explain itself. Some truths don’t want to be solved; they want to be felt. If you're sensing something now, don’t dismiss it. Just because it hasn't taken shape doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
That’s where the High Priestess lives: in the unspoken, the not-yet, the almost.
Let’s have another look at the card: the image of the black cat and the white cat mirroring each other under the moon. That moment isn’t about opposites in conflict. It’s about duality in harmony. Light and shadow. Knowing and not knowing. Logic and intuition. They sit together peacefully, as if both are necessary, both sacred.
This moment may not make perfect sense. You may feel caught in a kind of twilight, nothing is clear and still everything feels significant. That’s okay. You are not lost. You are listening. You don’t need to have all the answers. You only need to trust that something within you does know.
So be like those two cats beneath the moon: not chasing, just being. Present. Aware. In the presence of something deeper than words.
The High Priestess reminds you that not all paths are visible at once. Some only emerge when you become quiet enough to hear a faint whisper. It’s real. It’s always been real.
That is the way of the High Priestess.
She doesn’t scream for your attention or arrive with grand entrance. She simply is: present, patient, waiting. Between the visible and the invisible.
Reflections
- How do I currently connect with my intuition or spiritual self? What helps me to deepen that connection?
- What inner truths or feelings am I keeping hidden, even from myself?
- Where in my life is silence often more meaningful, profound and truthful than any explanation could ever be?
