HIGH PRIESTESS
The High Priestess: Understanding that you can create what you desire isn’t the same thing as knowing what you want to create!
She is the symbol of water. Water is the origin of life but also the unseen part of the reality - the abyss. The unknown that we can only perceive small part of it.
Aside reason and logic there is more about reality. You must find some answers inside yourself - trust your intuition.
The big head getting out if the water just behind her is the colective unconscious and our subconscious is a part of it. The hair is bonding with the head via the tentacles.
She is at the entrance in the world of imagination and dreams. The unicorn and the dragon are symbolizing the dual nature of the subconscious. It is like everything rises from the subconscious into reality via imagination/ intuition.
The two fishes in the front are symbolizing water and also like the subconscious, the dual nature of reality. yin and Yang.
So as The Fool you move on to learn from The High Priestess about the importance of going within. You learn about meditation and listening to your intuition, and dwelve deeper into your subconscious. You ask the question: “Who am I, and what am I here to do?” A search for the discovery of your Higher life purpose has begun.
The Magician is the consciousness, the active side, the masculine energy. But this is not enough to understand the World. This is because the world has a second side which is passive, feminine. The High Priestess is the subconsciousness.
Now the Hero sees the World as a whole since the High Priestess and the Magician are two parts of one whole, like the left and right hemispheres, day and night, logic and intuition.
