the high priestess has similar power femme energy to the empress, but think of it being applied intellectually rather than grounding through the body. sometimes erroneously considered a “passive” card, the high priestess is anything but. it is a card of contemplation and reflection, of tuning into one's intuition and listening to the wisdom of our bones. in a world that consistently pulls us away from our own embodied wisdom, we know that honing this skill back into being is anything but a passive act. the shadow side of this card reminds us to not spend too much time in our inner worlds though - there is a whole external experience we must also engage with, and the secrets our wisdom holds should not always stay as secrets.
