Finally I was able to come back to the Forum with no problems...I had several technical issues with my computer( beyond my understanding)....sorry Hemera
ok, finally I can get to this beautiful Major Card, one of my favorites in every deck...this is certainly a less "rigid" looking High Priestess...I find, personally, that most High Prientesses are depicted like this semi nun-ish women sitting with a stern look on their faces...the HP in the Victorian Romantic is totally different and I do like her a lot because she is empowered and feminine....ok this fae HP is a little like that for me...first of all she is wearing green, the color of growth and healing and it makes me think the knowledge she carries brings these things to us....she is deep in meditation but does not look tired or strained, it is a natural thing to do for her and this is maybe telling us that meditating, being with our Self is a natural thing to do, it is inborn...natutal, hence the green color of her gown.....she is a natural being, connected to earth, she is a nature Spirit after all but she is alos connected to Spirit and this is shown by the feathers in her headdress....birds have long considered the messengers of Spirit in several cultures(including the Romans)...this is a very calm HP, blending in her corner of the garden with nature around her....
By listening to nature she connects with ancients secrets and knowledge...and by doing that she goes back to her True Self, the one that will never cease to exist....and I forgot to add that the Oak tree means permanence, something solid that remains the same through the passing of time( there are oak leaves behind her).....
