The High Priestess Tarot Card

While the High Priestess card represents divinity, its history is rife with controversy. In some circles, she's viewed as a female pope (the card was originally entitled 'The Popess'). Since that doesn't coincide with the reality of Catholicism, however, she may be better viewed as a religious leader who doesn't follow the dogmatic teachings of any church. Her ways of knowing are secret and hidden; they are intrinsic.
