The High Priestess
The High Priestess is the third card in the Major Arcana and it’s numbered 2. I have to confess that the High Priestess scares me a bit. If you look at the card for long enough you feel as if she is looking right into your soul. You can't hide. The High Priestess will know exactly where you are and what you've been up to. You might as well stop what you're doing and pay attention.
If this card comes up in a reading you will need to reflect for a while. Go deeper into yourself and if possible practice some meditation. If you are looking for the answer to a problem you will need to stop racing around searching for clues. Just try to achieve some stillness so that the answer can flow into your soul. You have unlimited possibilities and you are capable of achieving a lot. Sometimes you need to allow that thought to flourish and grow. You will know exactly what you have to do when the time comes but for now just be still and feel the power and intensity of the High Priestess.
There are times when all of us feel that we need some guidance in life, especially when we feel unsure about the path we're taking. A daily tarot card can often help you to see things a bit more clearly. There is no magic in this. What you are doing is drawing on your inner resources and strength. You are using your intuition and the illustration on the card to help you to see things in every possible light. I find that rather than relying on a computer to draw the daily card for me it's best to have an actual deck that I can draw a card from myself. The deck I'm using here is the Universal Rider Waite deck which is easily available online. Some of the auctions are shown below, or for more information visit our Rider Waite page.
