I am the High Priestess

October 19, 2007 · by Christine

I saw this at Eileen’s blog and will sometimes enter my information into these games but not post the results. Since today was kind of intense, this result made me smile. High Priestess, I can live with that…(let me know if you find out yours!)  … I have long wanted to study the archetypal symbols of the Tarot deck.  May your weekend be filled with discovery!

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

    You are the Hanged Man

    Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

    With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

    The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

    The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

    Either High Priestess or Empress, seems to depend on which colour I choose!

  4. Dawn Says:

    I am the Wheel of Fortune. Pretty much happy with what comes to me but apparently I can get the big head and fall on my face. Must be the LEO in me. Pride before the fall and all.

  5. Songbird Says:

    It does suit you.

  6. chartreuseova Says:

    I’m the Wheel of Fortune. But unlike Dawn, I’m not a Leo, but a scorpio.

    Very fun to read all of your results! I am still basking in my priestessliness. :-) Although my husband did his and the resulting card was not very accurate at all.

    i am the sun

    Happiness, Content, Joy.

    The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

    Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

    The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon’s Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.
