V - the Hierophant
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
A
man stands in a cathedral, flanked by a priest and a monk and
two large white columns. Although his Papal tiara, staff and
keys clearly show him to be a Pope, he is simply dressed and
relatively unadorned.
My
Interpretation:
Spiritual
guidance and authority.
Tradition
and structure may be necessary at times, to create order from
chaos. This
card indicates a time of change, particularly in relationships.
It is time to seek truth and meaning. It
is time to leave the past behind you, clearing your mind of
past thoughts and feelings. A greater level of spiritual understanding
will follow.
(Reversed:
Weakness, intolerance and lack of understanding need to be overcome.)
Edit
notes: The
composition of this card is similar to the Rider-Waite card,
although the Pope is standing instead of enthroned. I've added
extra symbols over the plain v1.0 card.
I think this is similar enough to be familiar to RWD readers
- he's still flanked by two pillars and two Priests, with Papal
paraphenalia.
