The soul journey through the Thoth tarot cards: The Hierophant

The Hierophant Tarot card

The further along the spiritual path you walk, the more you realise there is to learn, and that’s exactly what the Hierophant tells us. It’s important to remain open to new knowledge and wisdom, retaining a teachable spirit, otherwise you could easily become dogmatic and rigid in your beliefs and history shows where that leads……

This flexibility and open approach to the spiritual journey emphasises the importance of personal experience and individual response to god/goddess, rather than insisting that everyone must follow the same rules and develop in exactly the same way to achieve enlightenment.

The Emperor Tarot card

Once you have learned to work with love and your intuition, it’s important to know how to create something practical and effective with them, how to build something real and lasting in the world as this is one of the cards that represents the sacred masculine. The Emperor is the form and action to the Empress‘ inspiration and raw potential.

Discipline is vital to a healthy spiritual life, setting time aside for regular meditation or exercise for example, and so now you must learn to set certain boundaries and structures for yourself within which you can attain your highest potential.

Fairy tale wisdom

I’ve always loved fairy tales and could sense in them, even at an early age, a kind of innate magic and significance, but I don’t think it was until my university days that I realised the depth of their wisdom.

I chose to study Old French as one of my English literature options (don’t worry, this isn’t going to get too cerebral!) and one of the authors I read was Marie de France and her wonderful 12th century lais – short but vivid narrative poems about knights, maidens and adventure.
