The High Priestess

The High Priestess

I am keeper of the secret,

the arcane and the rare.

l am knower of the ancient,

and a force to beware.

Like the sea, surface calm,

as below a storm rages

deceiving the fools,the kings,

and the sages.

lalone see the truth

in that raging storm

as I stand before it

untethered, unworn.

The High Priestess sits upon the

threshold of the conscious and

subconscious mind as the bearer of

ancient wisdoms.As such, she holds a

pomegranate over her head to signify

fertility ofmind.The crescent moon

sinking beneath her tentacles further

illustrates her effortless dominion over

the realms of both dreams and dread.

Her shadow however contains hidden

agendas and represents the need to

listen to one's intuition more closely
