Editing The High Priestess (section)

== Interpretation ==
The modern interpretation of the High Priestess represents the unknown, mystery, intuition, spiritual knowledge, and the subconscious mind. She is an esoteric figure, unlike [[The Hierophant]]. Reversed, the High Priestess can be interpreted as secrecy and disconnection from your intuition.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

According to [[A. E. Waite]]'s 1910 book ''[[The Pictorial Key to the Tarot]]'', the High Priestess card is associated with:

{{blockquote|Secrets, mystery, the future as yet unrevealed; the woman who interests the Querent, if male; the Querent herself, if female; silence, tenacity; mystery, wisdom, science. Reversed: Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.{{sfnp|Waite|1979|p=283}}
}}

In [[astrology]], the High Priestess's primary correspondence is to the Moon.{{sfnp|Crowley|1991|p=[https://archive.org/details/bookofthothshort0000crow/page/24 24]}} On the Tree of Life, she is on the path leading from Kether to Tiphareth.{{sfnp|Crowley|1991|p=[https://archive.org/details/bookofthothshort0000crow/page/266 266]}}
