The High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning (Intuition, Mystery and Inner Knowing)
She sits between two pillars with a scroll half-hidden in her lap and explains none of it. Some part of you reached a conclusion a while ago and has not told the rest of you. If you had to write down what you actually think, before any of the reasons, what would that one sentence say?

She sits between two pillars with a scroll half-hidden in her lap and explains none of it. Some part of you reached a conclusion a while ago and has not told the rest of you. If you had to write down what you actually think, before any of the reasons, what would that one sentence say?
Reversed Meaning
Core meaning: Ignored instincts, secrets, or disconnection from self
The scroll stays rolled. You asked three people what they would do and none of the answers stuck, because an answer was never what you wanted. Something you noticed weeks ago keeps surfacing and getting filed away again. What do you already know and keep declining to say?
