Piggybacking off of last week’s reflections, I’ve been connecting back with my intuition and The High Priestess. I’ve been taking the solitude and time for myself to slow down, take a good look at my surroundings, and just breathe through every moment. Knowing I don’t need to constantly try to “achieve” every single day between my full time job, mommy job, and also this passion gig. It’s perfectly ok to just BE.
In the tarot, The Hermit calls for introspection, solitude, and the quest for inner wisdom. This solitary path is not about isolation but about finding clarity and enlightenment within. The reverse reading of The Hermit could alternatively symbolize too much isolation or avoidance/rejection of your inner truth.
As you move through this process, The High Priestess presents herself as a vital guide. Traditionally, she represents intuition, mystery, and the subconscious. She’s the guardian of hidden knowledge and the bridge between the conscious and unconscious realms. Her presence in a reading often signifies the need to trust your inner voice and pay attention to your dreams and instincts.
โจ To carry The High Priestess’s energy with you every day, consider these practices:
1. Daily Meditation: Set aside a few minutes each day to meditate. This quiet time helps you connect with your inner self and listen to your intuition.
2. Journaling: Write down your thoughts, dreams, and feelings. This practice can reveal patterns and insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
3. Mindful Moments: Throughout your day, take brief pauses to breathe deeply and center yourself. These moments of mindfulness can help you stay connected to your intuition amidst the chaos.
4. Trust Your Gut: Pay attention to your instincts and feelings. The High Priestess encourages you to trust your inner guidance, even when it defies logic.
These are only suggestions – they key is to always find what works best for YOU. As I always preach – there are no rules. If you find yourself getting anxious about if you’re “doing it right” or find yourself frequently using the word “should” or “shouldn’t”, let that be your reminder that by doing this, you are unconsciously limiting yourself. Open your heart and be open to the possibilities!
Love,
