The High Priestess sits between two pillars, one black and one white, in front of a curtain. She is not the answer. She is the door, half open, and behind her is everything you suspect but cannot prove yet.
Upright
Upright, this card is your own intuition speaking through a slightly louder voice. Something in your body knows before your head agrees. The Priestess is permission to listen, even when listening is inconvenient.
Reversed
Reversed, the card is what happens when you have been ignoring your gut for so long it has gone quiet. The work is not adding more information. It is taking some away, so your own knowing has room again.
When it shows up
The Priestess shows up around secrets, dreams, the moment you already know what to do and are pretending you do not.
