She sits placidly between the pillars of the Temple of Solomon, Boaz and Jerochim. She wears simple blue robes, the book of wisdom (TORA) resting in her lap, half concealed, half revealed. Upon her head she wears the crown of Isis, queen mother of the Egyptian goddesses and mistress of magic, while the crescent moon of the subconscious lies at her feet. The equal-armed solar cross is displayed prominently on her chest. Behind her, the temple veil conceals the mysteries of the temple within. Its pattern bears a pattern of pomegranates, symbol of Persephone, who ate four pomegranate seeds and was bound to spend four months in Hades every year as a result.
The High Priestess rules over the mysteries of the subconscious. She expresses the need to trust your intuition, to look for meaning in your dreams, to understand and respect your instincts. She represents the notion that some things aren't taught or learned, but can only be found by looking within.
