In this week’s episode we nerd out on the esoteric symbolism coded into the fifth numbered card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, The Hierophant also known as The Pope and the High Priest, Magus of the Eternal Gods. We discuss the divinatory meaning of the card, its etymological roots, biblical references and the priesthoods of Ancient Egypt. We explain why the Pope’s zodiacal association is with Taurus and of course what it has to do with Venus and the Moon. In the extended show we discuss the Apis Bull, the birth of the Cretian Minotaur, the magick of the number 5, the golden ratio, the Hebrew letter Vav, The Tree of Life and of course the Gematria woven into the Thoth version of the card. We learned a lot researching this episode, so we hope you will too, thank you and enjoy the show!
