This series, “Arcana Alchemy”, will highlight each Major Arcana card individually - this specific post is dedicated to the Major Arcana card #2 - The High Priestess.

The High Priestess is the third card in the Major Arcana, though it is numerically number 2, and follows The Magician (1). Each Tarot card relates to each other and gives us a narrative to follow, so it’s important to begin this analysis with a quick summary of the cards that have come before. The Fool (0) represents divine chaos and the infinite absolute, The Magician (1) represents the divine/absolute in a physical form, and that brings us to The High Priestess (2) represents the powerhouse of intuition and wisdom that comes when we tune into the cycles of the cosmos and our own physical bodies and mind.

This series, “Arcana Alchemy”, will highlight each Major Arcana card individually - this specific post is dedicated to the Major Arcana card #1 - The Magician.

The Magician is the second card in the Major Arcana, though it is numerically number 1, it follows The Fool who is numerically 0. The Magician is the evolution of chaos (The Fool) getting channeled into a physical form. He’s a physical container for the divine, a being who holds all the power of creation at his fingertips, much like Jesus or Adam.
