The Hierophant represents a higher authority and wisdom that is more significant than our puny human selves. I see the Hierophant as the keeper and teacher of sacred mysteries. The Hierophant reminds us to trust our spiritual authority and reconnect to our higher self. However, you understand that. We can reinterpret any religious tradition the card depicts into our meaningful rituals and contemplations. When do you feel most connected to something larger than yourself? Where are you and what are you doing? The Hierophant could represent a wise teacher in your life, but more often, s/he’s the teacher within, empowering us to reach for our connection to the All That Is. If the High Priestess connects us to our divine self within, the Hierophant connects us to the Universe at large.
