Briar Rose
Anna K. 2 High Priestess
This card shows a relaxed woman sitting back on a board walk with water next to her, resting her back against a swirling trunked tree. It is evening and she is looking up at the night sky which shows 4 phases of the moon; full, Wanning Gibbous, Last Quater, and a Waning Cresent moon in her lap. She is completely covered in her clothing, except for her face which is serene. Part of her head dress is in the water and she appears to not notice, or care.
The book reads that 'The High Priestess represents Intuition and Wisdom, Empathy, Forebodings, Patience, and Understanding.'
In the deck I see that the High Priestess as a woman of Wisdom and has the understanding of a full life. They say the night sky is very magical and here she holds the waning crescent moon that has fillfulled it's phases. Like we in life, looking to the Priestess for guidance and assurance everything will be okay.
Usually I tend to depict the High Priestess as being a very sexually strong and pwerful woman. here I see her as more compassionate and understanding with a divine sense of self.
