Fanart: Saint Seiya Tarot - Arcana II: The High Priestess

| The High Priestess is the dark and hidden side of the Goddess. She represents darkness, psychic powers, mysteries, the wisdom of The Moon, and the deepest depths of the soul. Many renderings of the High Priestess show her sitting between a black and a white pillar behind which the seas of the subconsciousness lay, hidden behind a veil that no mortal man is allowed to pass. At our current stage we cannot touch the waters, lest we perish, first we have to journey the trumps of the Arcana until we have found enough understanding to survive the experience. The High Priestess holds a scroll that contains the truths of the cosmic conscience (I do not want to write God as it has too many Christian connotations), and as it is partly hidden behind her cape, this shows that the secret knowledge is only partly available. The qualities of the The High Priestess are passivity, quiet, true wisdom, sadness, coldness, giving up emotions to research the dark reaches of the mind, loneliness, sacrifices. Traditionally, The High Priestess is connected with the Zodiac Sign Cancer and the Moon. My rendering of The High Priestess shows Pandora sitting on a seat which should remind you of the seat on which the Pythia of the Oracle of Delphi sat - the ancient priestess who told the future by falling into trance by the mists arising from a fissure in the earth. She holds the scroll of secret knowledge in her hand, partly hidden behind the sleeve of her robe. The two columns are the same columns you can see at Trump XVII The Moon. Behind the veil, the waters of the subconscious are hidden, a wild waterfall that would sweep any unprepared viewer away. Her necklace shows the phases of the moon, the old symbol of lunar knowledge and the mystic female powers. |
