The High Priestess Card - From Tarot of the Vampires - Sasha Graham
Hi Friends! It’s Magical Monday! I have spent most of the day dialing the number for the labor department to finalize my claim for unemployment and I can’t think of anything more UNmagical. What a mess! Sympathy to all who have been through this already. I’m not sure they have anyone answering the phone lines there. But, I am embracing the darkness of it all and giving in to the fact that I will have to listen to that robot voice probably a million more times only to be disconnected. But maybe the full moon will change my luck tonight…
As promised, here is a new card pulled by my awesome friend, Sasha Graham, for all of us on Magical Monday!
Magical Monday - The High Priestess
A fat full moon is occurring on Tuesday, April 7th. Full moon magic is about infusing yourself with strength, power, and potential. Moon cycles mirror the natural ebb and flow of our lives. That sweet moon is you.
The High Priestess tarot card is aspected by the moon’s lunar glow. The High Priestess reaches into the folds of her dress, grabs the moon and flings it into the night sky so you can find yourself reflected in it. She represents the deepest parts of yourself, your psyche, and your inner state. She is the key to who you are.
Once, not too long after September 11th, I sat on a flight, gripped with fear and anxiety. I was around midnight and I was halfway between New York and London and peering out the window. The Atlantic’s endless expanse was spread out beneath me. I’d never seen anything so dark and deep. I’d never felt so small, so scared. The High Priestess was there, caressing every rolling black wave.
The High Priestess hides in a gaping vampire mouth, in the yawning expanse of a freshly dug grave. She creeps our of your childhood closet, and is often found lurking under your bed. If your fears reside in the darkness, it is the High Priestess who emerges in lunar shadows. It is she who dares you to face them.
You see, The High Priestess knows, when you face the unknown, when you challenge yourself, when you confront what scares you – you grow. You grow in ways that can hardly be imagined. You are born again. And that’s what April’s rites and rituals are all about. Rebirth. Miracles. The life springing from a long dark sleep. This is the magic that make way for summer nights and delights.
You, my dear, harbor that same light. This life giving energy resides inside your darkness.
Tonight, be brave. Turn out all the lights. Sit in the shadows. Welcome April’s moon with all of its mystery, emotion, and exquisiteness.
And welcome your High Priestess. She’s waiting for you . . .
