The Hierophant

As we grow and gain our education we encounter the Hierophant or Priest. He gives us a general education and especially teaches us in spiritual and religious matters. He has great strength of purpose and knows where his own light comes from. His is an alternative wisdom from that given by our father and may be thought of as an earthly version of the gifts of the High Priestess. We are now preparing to make our own way in the world.

 

Exercise:

Study the image of the Hierophant and try to fit his qualities into a short story. Mention why he is half man and half beast. What is the significance of the roll of parchment and the archway he stands behind?
