In the Tarot Oracle, The Hierophant presides over issues that require deep psychological and spiritual penetration. Hence, his appearance often signals the need for study and contemplation. But the image of The Hierophant also reflects on the power of established belief systems, on religious traditions, and formal disciplines of all kinds. In human affairs, it often describes contractual commitments between people, in fixed conformity with a set of prescribed rules, and many a marriage has been heralded by the appearance of The Hierophant. In a typical case, a client asked about her engagement to be married to a man who was showing something less than complete enthusiasm about the approaching date. When a variety of positive and promising images appeared in her Reading, and among them, the image of The Hierophant, we felt that we could put her worries to rest. The pair is still happily married today after many happy and fulfilling years. |
