~ Sharing The Tarot ~
Part two in the thread series! If you didn't see the first one, what we're doing here is through the cards of the Tarot one by one and sharing our interpretations and views on each card. A full explanation is offered in the first thread, The Magician.
Next up: The High Priestess
What comes to mind when you think of the High Pristess? When you pull the card in a spread, what are the first thoughts that pop into your brain? Let's see how different or how similar our views on this card really are.
In the High Priestess I see:
Knowledge hidden away in one's subconscious
The revealing of knowledge
Hidden secrets revealed
Intuitive and/or psychic abilities
Info derived from such methods
Trusting your intuition or psychic abilities
Introspection
Looking to one's self for the answeres
The Mysteries
Working w/ Goddesses
Knowledge/guidance given by Goddesses

In addition to what Berkana stated, when I see the High Priestess I think the querent needs to:
Trust their subconscious, i.e., follow their gut feelings.
Get in touch with their "buttons" so that they can consciously act instead of subconsciously react.
Get in touch with the Goddess within.
I think a person who gets this card prominently has the ability to get in touch with their inner feelings, but needs a little prompting to do so. They may be ignoring what they're feeling because it doesn't seem rational.
