The High Priestess Reversed in a love spread

ChristianReader

If u see the high priestess whether upright or not near the devil/ pan then its obsession, attachment, co-dependency, dirty secrets, and highly intense sexual desire that may role over into bdsm or someone has a hold over the other on purpose and the slave does not care, they are willing to be a captive of the other... im not trying to turn this into some sort of sex convo but thats what honestly comes to mind with the hp in her most negative attractive force

You know what ? It does fit quite well with my reading.....the devil came up elsewhere in the spread, but I had the same idea....an obsessive, unhealthy sexual attraction, secrets, manipulation, etc....thanks !

What I meant, he may see her as exhibiting some masculine traits - e.g. in her behaviour and character (active rather than passive, intellectual rather than intuitive, dominant rather than submissive, etc.). There's no reason whatsoever why this should preclude sexual attraction. And even if it's taken physically (e.g. she's boyish in appearance) - maybe this is what turns him on. To each his own, like I said.

Here's a thread on HP reversed, you will find many interesting ideas there, perhaps they will fit the situation better: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=57386

Thanks, that helps-and it does make sense.....I'll go and have a look at the links anyway.

Reversed i say that his intentions with her arent the most pure. He may want to have sex with her to reveal her mystery... even though sex isnt the key to unlocking it; he doesnt realize that because thats just what he feels. But it shows that he could think of her as a tease or temptress or plainly too damn secretive... especially if he doesnt know that you're into the occult. SIDE NOTE: may sound funny but i have learned that men have a strong intuition as well. Dont be surprised if he figures out that u love or like him...Their men not mind numb animals(sometimes they can be but it comes with being human). I have done readings for myself concerning guys who all of a sudden get very odd assumptions of me and the HP would start to come up, turns out either they had a strong feeling i liked them, they would feel very close to me for no physical reason, they would think i am soooo creepy, or they thought i was a psychic or a "witch". LOL I dont usually read reversals because i can tell whether upside down or not to take the card in light or shadow it. but the darker side of the hp....is when someone may feel deeply attached to her and want to tie her down ( not physically i hope!) but they want her and the over all vibe of such desire is a little dark. The person could feel like they are under a spell with you and they have no idea why they are attracted to you like this. So im not sure which one you asked but thats how they would see/ feel about you in a reversed manner.

It all fits, and that's more or less how I interpreted it, thanks a lot.

I know this thread is kind of old but from my experience, I can agree with this interpretation.

The interpretation about the witch makes sense as well. I have had the card to come up RX in a reading for how a male sees a female. He has expressed that she can be dominant, pushy, intellectual, etc. And, I she has also mentioned to him that she is/was into the occult.
