Hand-Painted Stoneware Tarot Card Ornament: The High Priestess
This hand-painted stoneware ornament features The High Priestess, the second Major Arcana card in traditional Tarot decks, hand painted in full color on white stoneware clay and fired raw for a velvety matte texture. Each ornament is tied with a faux leather cord for hanging and measures approximately 2 1/4" wide by 3 3/4" tall. Please note that colors may vary slightly from ornament to ornament, and the item pictured in the listing photo may not be the exact ornament you receive.
The High Priestess has a lunar crescent at her feet and wears a horned diadem on her head with a globe in the middle and a solar cross on her chest. She sits in front of a veil decorated with pomegranates, a symbol of Persephone, who was forced to spend half of every year in the underworld after eating a pomegranate seed. On either side of the priestess are black and white pillars representing the knowledge of duality (darkness and lightness, masculine and feminine, material and spiritual) required to enter the sacred temple. The "B" stands for Boaz: negation and severity. The "J" stands for Jachin: beginning and mercy. In her lap is a scroll that is inscribed with the letters TORA, standing either for the Jewish Torah or an anagram of Tarot (the word is partially obscured by her robe to signify that some things are implied and some spoken).
• Meaning: Mystery, intuition, the divine feminine, spiritual insight, the subconscious mind
• Element: Water
• Ruling planet: Moon
