Where to apply your focus
The High Priestess
Full Meaning: Key Words for the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings
* Knowing
* Psychic
* Oracle
* Secretive
* Influential
Take a good look at the High Priestess card and you will receive a great deal of messages she conveys. Foremost, she conveys a message of understanding. Even her posture indicates she is established in a position of knowledge. Her scroll holds esoteric knowledge. She determines the manner in which the knowledge should be expressed, and only she decides to whom, and how much knowledge is extolled.
Much like the Magician, the High Priestess is unquestioning of her knowledge and power. There is no question of source or validity - her knowledge simply "is." She is aware of the motions of nature, the movement of spiritual matters, and she has accute awareness of the stirrings of the mind. She is vitally tapped into the flow of ancient knowledge. She instinctively understands the innerworkings and connections between nature, philosophy, science and religion.
When we pull the High Priestess card for ourselves or for a querent, it is an indication that we are in communication with the unseen forces. We must realize these unseen forces are greater than ourselves, and our ability to access this energy is a great responsibility. We must understand that we are all psychic, just as the Priestess. However, only those who respect the gift of psychic awareness and utilize the gifts and the knowledge beneficially that acquire the noble presence and demeanor of the Priestess.
As you may have guessed, the Priestess Tarot card meanings are not straight-forward. As she is somewhat of a mystery herself, she requires all those who come to her to be worthy of her meaning, and earn the honor of understanding her. Trust that when you pull the High Priestess card there are undercurrents working within you that will blossom into intense and beautiful experiences. All that is requested of you to experience this blossoming is an awareness of and respect for the higher forces at work in the universe and within you.
Key Symbols Relative to the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings:
This section focuses in on a few select symbols that can help us further define the Priestess Tarot card meanings.
Cross: The ancient Greeks created this symbol with all legs of equal length and size. One of the simplest symbols, and used since ancient times, it represents several things to different cultures. In ancient Greece it is an emblem of the four elements. In the ancient Middle East, the symbol represents the four directions (north, south, east, west) and the four winds. Even the ancient Aztecs used this symbol to represent the meeting place of god (at the cross-section). The High Priestess bares this symbol at her heart - meaning that at the heart of her very being she is intimate with the ways of nature, knowledge, and God. The unfolding mystery of life is the core of her knowledge.
Moon: The moon lays at her feet - her foundation is the fluxtuating night emblem that symbolizes motion, illumination, fertility, and even lunacy. Many decks even depict the moon illustrated upon the Priestess forehead. At her head and at her feet are the attributes of the moon - her thoughts are illuminated by the secret power of the moon, and her her path is guided by the pull of the moon. The moon is all about intuition, psychic force, unseen energy. When we have hunches, ideas, or impressions that "come from nowhere" this is "moon power" at work. The moon lives in the darkest of places so she must be triple clear in her messages through the night. The moon brings of clarity of mind, heart and spirit - but there is a price if we are not careful. Being too swayed by the power of the moon can lead to erratic behavior or even pyschotic episodes. This is why the High Priestess is such a strong figure - because she not only heeds the message of the moon - she also harnesses its power.
Scroll: Everybody wants to know what is written in the scroll the High Priestess craddles closely to her womb, but only she knows, and it's not likely that she'll give up the information. The fact is the scroll contains information that she protects. It contains knowedge of esoteric, occult, philosphical revelations that if placed in the hands of one who has no understanding or respect for what he/she is holding - tremendous damage would be done. This is why she holds it so close to her - she knows that knowledge is both a killer and a savior. There are some theories that the scroll is the Akashic records which contain the records of all-that-has-ever-been for every soul in existence. Whatever the actual contents, be sure that the Priestess is forever on guard - keeping the secrets in tact until our minds are ripe for the opportunity to receive the knowledge she commands.
Further Note on the Priestess Tarot Card Meanings: Many deck renditions depict two columns at either side of the High Priestess. On her right is a black column with the letter "B" imprinted on it. On her left a white column with the letter "J" imprinted. These represent the pillars that stand at entrance of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. The words are Hebrew: Boaz means "in strength" and Jachin means "he establishes." These pillars are symbolic of the balance and reverence of higher power the High Priestess represents.

"Nothing happens until something moves." This simple yet profound observation made by Einstein set the stage for Two of Wands in which a creative idea was born.
The Three of Wands represents the watcher of these creative ideas we've started in our lives. From high vantage points, and with unlimited stores of resources, knowledge and time we observe the unfolding of our creative desires.
The Three of Rods reminds us that we are infinite in our creative resources. We are in constant motion and the momentum of our manifestations is staggering. This card indicates our powerful nature, and suggests we allow our desires to tumble into our laps like ripe fruit: sweet and satisfying.
No action is needed here. Rather, the movement of which Einstein speaks is the acknowledgment that time (in all its phases) is on our side and our only action is to recognize our presence as the divine overseer of our experience.
We are ambassadors of our own dreams - the Three of Wands reminds us of our nobility in this respect, and indicates all we need do is allow the royal red carpet of our manifestations to unfurl itself right at our feet.
In a reading, this card says: "watch with awareness and with expectation of your highest good."
A few symbol meanings for the Three of Wands:
Mountains: Seen on many of the cards, mountain symbol meanings deal with triumph, challenge, attainment, and realization. Mountains also represent timelessness and an endurance that is infinite. When those mountains peak out of the cards into our attention, we may consider the vastness of our universe, and contemplate our place within it. We may also want to consider the heights to which we are climbing, and what the realization of our goals may mean for us and those around us.
Ship: Yes, of course ship symbol meanings deal with travel and journey's. However a commonly overlooked factor is the medium upon which they said - water - it deals with the deeper levels of the psyche and the subconscious. When Ships sail across your vision in a reading, take into consideration where your thoughts (psyche) are traveling - what kind of baggage (cargo) are you carrying around, and are you charting (navigating) out the best course for your thoughts and emotions?

Situation As It Is
Three of Wands
Briefly: The seeker of knowledge and truth. He searches until he finds what he is looking for.
Full Meaning: This card depicts a man with his back to us though revealing part of his face as he looks out over the hillside. He holds a wand in his hand which has three leaves sprouting from it signifying growth and abundance. In front of him is another wand and behind him the third wand. He is contemplating his future and possibly the journey ahead of him. In the distance are mountains with high peaks. It appears to be an almost barren environment, warm and dry. However he has with him the symbols of growth and can plant wherever he sees fit. He wants to settle down, but must first wander and roam until he finds his true home. This card too is the seeker of knowledge and truth. He searches until he finds what he is looking for.
