Description of the card The Pope in Tarot

The High Priest in Tarot is the masculine version of the Priestess card and is ruled by the sign of Taurus.

This card contains the image of a religious figure seated on a throne whose sides look like two pillars of a sacred temple.

He wears three robes in red, blue and white and also wears a three-tiered crown. This symbology of the number three represents the three worlds that this card governs: the conscious, the subconscious and the superconscious.

In her left hand is the Papal Cross – a triple scepter that indicates her religious status. The three horizontal bars on the scepter indicate the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

With his right hand he makes a gesture of religious blessing, pointing two fingers towards heaven and two towards earth.

Before him are kneeling two followers. The role of the Pope in Tarot is to impart his spiritual wisdom and initiate the two followers into the church so that they can assume their roles.

The image gives the impression that a rite of passage to the next level is taking place.

Card The Pope in the Mythological Tarot

The cave is the temple of Chiron the Hierophant and represents the natural and essential school where spiritual teachings can be learned and directed to earthly life.

The rudimentary door through which Chiron’s disciples enter represents knowledge. Whoever arrives at the Hierophant seeks wisdom.

The scroll which the Hierophant holds in his left hand is the Law, the written word which, through revelation, communicates the divine will.

It is Chiron who helps us understand what is required of us by God, for he is our inner spiritual educator.

While the Priestess links us to the unconscious world, the Hierophant links us to the divine world within us.

In a divinatory sense, the Hierophant card signifies the search for answers on a philosophical level.

This search may be in a psychotherapist or a spiritual mentor, whom we turn to when we need help. It also means letting go of childhood and preparing for life’s challenges.
