The Priestess represents your virgin
self, the part of you that is untouched by culture that belongs to no one
but you. When the Priestess
shows her face, you are being asked to have conversations with that virgin
self, to go within and listen to the counsel of your own truth of spirit. Bring your question, your dilemma, your request, to this
virgin self. You are looking
for your truth now, not the practical solution.
You’ll work that out later, once you’ve found what’s
preparing to be born. Simply
listen. Hold the stethoscope of your awareness to the womb of
your subconscious. Listen for
the heartbeat of the new creation forming within you.
The Priestess symbolizes the embryonic fluid that cradles the
conception of new endeavor. In
the ancient days of fortune telling, if the Priestess card was turned up,
the reading was over because her meaning to these fortune tellers was that
the future has not yet
been written, was yet to be determined.
But the process The
Priestess personifies is her true message. The Priestess calls us to prophecy, to see our future
as it
is taking shape. She
is the intuitive, wordless spirit-mind, the inner guide we often
name the Higher Self or the Holy Guardian Angel.
The Priestess is astrologically associated with the Moon, a
feminine, intuitive symbol with a correspondence to the nurturing element
of Water and the embryonic fluid that feeds the growing seed.
She also relates to the Hebrew letter Gimel, which means Camel.
It is in the deeper listening, the Priestess reminds us, that we
find the waters that quench thirst when traveling across the life's deserts.
When your interest is parched, when you’re confused by opinions
around you and cannot hear your spirit voice, The Priestess needs to be
visited. When she shows up in
your reading, it’s time to listen only to your true voice, your guardian
angel within. Take time
alone, set the opinions and counsel of others aside, leave practical
considerations for another hour. Ask
your virgin self, that self that is bonded only to your spirit’s
fulfillment, to show you what the next Work is.
Listen, visit that virgin self for days if need be, until you’ve
seen the shape of your new creation.
Then figure out how to make what you’ve seen pay the rent!
Q. How do you distinguish the
true prophetic voice from that of an irritated crank?
A. Listen with your prophetic
ears. Cranks make a lot of
noise.
