This episode is the third episode in the Major Arcana In-Depth series. Every few weeks I will be featuring one card of the Major Arcana, from the Fool to the World. Come take a tarot journey with me! (These podcast episodes are based on the Major Arcana In-Depth series on my website, www.tarotbyhilary.com.)
This is the one card I better know back, front, sideways, and inside-out… because She is now permanently on my body! Why the High Priestess card? people have asked. My response is that She is a constant reminder to always always ALWAYS trust my intuition. What I really love about both my tattoo and the placement of it is that it does have multiple meanings, including the reversal. When most people see my tattoo, they are seeing the High Priestess card upright (and therefore all the meanings of the upright association). When I look at my tattoo, I am seeing the High Priestess reversed (because I must bend my arm at the elbow to take a good look at her). The reversal of the card is a reminder that every time I haven’t trusted my intuition, I always end up regretting it.
