High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning In a reading:
- The querent should understand that they are deeply intuitive and it is important to pursue that and live more magically (if they feel called to do so).
- The Priestess is a calling to engage in ritual, trust intuition, practice magick (whatever that means to you).
- It is important to listen to the physical body – the body is not outside of ourselves. Spirit often speaks to us through our body.
- Permission to rethink any resistance we have to our own power or our own abilities to heal ourselves.
- Best to keep intentions or ideas under wraps. Be sure to select the right person for any confidence shared.
- Be authentic in all situations and have complete faith in your feelings at this time.
- This card reminds us that this physical reality of ours can only be navigated with the help of intuition; the gut feeling about what is right and wrong. The rational mind, will and intention are not enough, we also need to listen to the inner self, our soul.
