The High Priest

Like the Emperor the High Priest is a strong masculine card and also connected with fatherhood. But unlike the Emperor the high Priest's strength is not in the physical domain but in the spiritual. He represents the age-old tradition of Holy Leaders. From the Shamans and Witch Doctors of Old to the Rabbi's and Popes of today, he is the link between this world and the next. The card is one of intuitive moral wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment and purity.

Dignified: Good advice has been offered and it should be taken. Acceptance of the established order could result in a period of serenity and prosperity. Listen to the voices of wisdom; rules are there for a reason. Drink and be merry, get the party going by all means but listen when people tell you that you have had enough.

Ill dignified: Bad advice is on offer. Those who listen to the voices of the ill educated and ill informed create a world of chaos. Perhaps the truth is being distorted and wisdom has been replaced by propaganda. The card also points towards the rejection of established authority. Don't listen to them when they say you will be fine, that one extra drink may cost you more than you bargained for.
