Card Description: The Cloud Hierophant wears a red robe and a triple-tiered crown symbolizing authority over the three realms of body, mind, and spirit. In his left hand, he holds a scepter shaped like the letter “主” (representing authority), while his right hand forms a blessing gesture. The clouds gently lift him as two crossed keys rest below him, and two devoted followers sit before him, listening earnestly to his teachings of wisdom.
