MAJOR ARCANA · CARD 2
The High Priestess
"the psychic card of the deck"
Her take
She's the psychic card of the deck, and she's not in a hurry. Look at the curtain of pomegranates behind her: she sits at the doorway between worlds, the part of you that knows things before you can explain them.
The rest of her read
Where The High Priestess lands on the Fool's Journey, what its number does to a spread, how it reads next to another Major versus next to a court card, and what changes when it shows up upside down. Every one of the 78 has this, written once, in her voice.
The teaching
When it lands reversed
This is the library entry, the card on its own. In a reading she reads The High Priestess against the cards around it, its position, and your question, and that's where the actual story turns up. No card means one thing every time.
