I delayed posting on this card because I can’t see anything beyond the LWB’s definition.
“The Hierophant – The Ancient – Advice, connection with a higher power, bowing one’s head with respect, accepting.”
Fairly straightforward and I agree the card represents all of the above. I would add that I like the fact the two figures are standing in water, which tends to represent the unconscious or the emotions. Also they’ve continued the stone thread from the Emperor.
Interestingly, I just noticed that the Emperor and the Hierophant cards are the two cards so far that aren’t set in an urban setting. The Fool is set in an alleyway, the Magician and companion are dressed appropriately for the urban arena, the High Priestess could be sitting in any apartment or flat in the world. Even the Empress card with it’s lack of background and metrosexual appearance is urban.
