II. The High Priestess
Between two pillars
the High Priestess sits
before a veil
decorated with pomegranates and palms.
Behind the veil
is the vast sea
of the unconscious.
She wears a lunar crown,
a crescent moon sits at her feet
and on her lap
a scroll
on which is written
Divine Law.
She is the mediator
between humanity
and the Divine
Guardian of knowledge
master of intuition
keeper of mysteries
devoted servant
to higher powers
and an oracle
with a deep connection
to truth.
But you need not seek her out
with your most urgent questions
and your most vexing problems
Because the knowledge
of the High Priestess
is already
within you
you need only
lift
the veil.
