The Hierophant
Tradition · teachers · belonging
“The boring, proven route is the right one today. Ask the person who has done this before.”
Yes or no: YesUpright
Learn from those who came before. The traditional route works here. When this card shows up, it's rarely subtle: notice where in your life it's already happening.
Reversed
Rules that no longer fit you. Break the mold. Reversed, the Hierophant says the old rules don't fit you anymore. You're allowed to write new ones.
In love
Defining the relationship, meeting the family, making it official. Time to define the relationship, or at least ask.
Work & money
Learn from a mentor, or become one.
Yes or no?
A clear yes. This card leans toward go. Want a straight answer to your own question? Ask the yes / no card.
