Our next encounter is with the High Priestess. We find her descending stairs from the light into some secret place. Note the light and dark pillars she is between. That secret place is our inner self. Just as the Magician was a masterful user of the magical qualities of the physical world around us, so she is mistress of hidden and spiritual matters. She treads carefully between the light and dark pillars but is not influenced by either of them. Her inner harmony helps guide her. With the knowledge she imparts we are ready to enter the physical life.
