The Heirophant

The Hierophant The Hierophant is a master of sarced rites holding court in a holy place. Acolytes kneel before him and listen to his wisdom, The robes of the acolytes bear a design of red roses and white lilies (which also appears in the Magician card) which symbolize desire and abstract thought respectively. Between them at the Hierophant's feet are two crossed keys representing the conscious and the subconscious. Unlike the High Priestess, the Hierophant is concerned with the application of spiritual knowledge to the physical world. The Hierophant in a reading can indicate the establishment, the "powers that be", or perhaps an overly stubborn adherence to tradition. It is often a sign that it is time to think about giving up your routines, your old way of doing things, and to move into the unknown. Perhaps consider what life would be like if we truly lived by what we believe. Love and Light Lhynn
