The High Priestess is a powerful and enigmatic figure in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, often depicted as a serene and mystical woman seated between two pillars, with a veil draped behind her. She is numbered two in the Major Arcana sequence, representing the power of intuition and the mysteries of the subconscious mind. The High Priestess is often associated with the element of water and the power of feminine intuition. She represents the deep, inner knowledge that we all possess, but that is often hidden or obscured by the distractions and noise of the outer world. Her presence suggests the need to tap into our own intuition and inner wisdom in order to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
