The AIRR Tech Team put their altars in order today to honour The High Priestess -- the third in our series of 22 informative web pages on the Tarot Trumps or Major Arcana. The card depicts a woman in a shimmering pale blue silken gown and head covering wearing a triple Moon crown. She is seated on a stone bench between two pillars before King Solomon's Temple, and behind her is an elaborately embroidered tapestry featuring a symmetrical array of pomegranates and date palms. Also called "La Papessa" or "The Female Pope," this tarot card symbolizes the glory of God, female and lunar mysteries, and the Female Querent. Catherine Yronwode wrote the page with contributions by Papa Newt and Nagasiva Yronwode. The images are by Pamela Colman Smith, courtesy of Hoodoo Psychics, and Oswald Wirth, courtesy of Thom Rose, and were photo-edited by nagasiva yronwode. Papa Newt did site-wide linking and proofreading, and Nagasiva did proofreading and created this graphic announcement. Check out our reflective page on The High Priestess Tarot Card!
