02. The High Priestess
The High Priestess lamb represents pure feminine power, dressed in a pure white robe and a blue outer robe symbolizing the Virgin Mary, holding a scroll representing wisdom. The black pillar on the left symbolizes imagination and intuition, and the white pillar on the right symbolizes pragmatism and strength. She sits between them, coordinating their powers, symbolizing the balance of yin and yang, and unity with the divine.
Upright Meaning
The High Priestess lamb is reserved and introspective, good at turning inward and listening to intuition. She is highly intuitive but rarely takes action. Her passive nature makes her aloof and unsmiling. The moon also signifies mystery or secrets, and the High Priestess lamb reminds us to go with the flow, not force changes in the external world but listen to our inner voice, trusting our intuition, letting the environment change with our minds.

Reversed Meaning
When reversed, the High Priestess lamb's scroll falls, showing a superficial attitude towards knowledge, pretending to understand. She becomes restless, losing her original calm and stability, becoming active and social but lacking inner wisdom. This represents neglecting one's inner voice.
