The High Priestess: a new look

The High Priestess represents the inner powers of the heart, as opposed to the Magician who relies on the tools of his craft to change the world. The High Priestess changes the world through her own power. She stands for the delicate balance between light and dark, the divine  and the mundane, the creative and the practical. 

I have put off writing this for a very, very long time. My initial thoughts was to reference the High Priestess with the great women of Carmel, Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux and Edith Stein. Women who so much contributed to my love for this spirituality. But I ended up with nothing to say really. 

Months passed, trying my best to write this post to really share my feelings but ended up with a blank state. Maybe because I was too disillusioned with how I wanted to present myself and my thoughts to the internet. But then came this random person from another universe. Totally alien from mine. He changed the course of the river of thought going through my head. What was once a very rare trickle became a dam filled to the brim with emotion and intuition. He is my High Priestess. My delicate balance between the worlds. That Goldilocks moment of just right. 

I have shared here the hopes and dreams that I have. Even partly, the pains that I have experienced. Seemingly an INFJ personality like me would have a shitload of things to say about the most intuitive card there is on the deck. But it took a person, totally new, for me to see the reality of the High Priestess. While she speaks profoundly of the powers of the Sacred Feminine and of the powers of intuition, she mostly speaks of the right balance: enthroned between Boaz and Jorim, between heaven and earth, between the worlds. 

As I stand in the threshold of a new morning for me, a step up in career, a new path of learning, going back to formation, he comes as gentle as the morning air to refreshen what seems to have been lost. 

To my High Priestess, querido mio, todo o nada!
