The High Priestess is a card of secrecy, hidden facts and the need to trust your intuition. There is a legend of a female pope called Pope Joan who was Pope in the middle ages, a great secret that the Roman Church has kept well hidden. This card symbolises that element of secrecy. It's appearance sometimes indicates secrets, something hidden, affecting the situation being divined. It also relates to Divine Law and Gnosis. That is spiritual, or religious, knowledge. For this reason the card can sometimes point to a person who practices the divinatory arts, such as a Tarot Reader, Psychic, Astrologer, Numerologist etc. In drawing this card in the positon of a solution, it's message maybe to trust your inner voice, your intuition, rather than your reason. You do not have all the facts to make a logical choice or decision.
