Card Meaning (Upright)
The Hierophant is the bridge between the divine and the earthly. He represents tradition, ceremony, mentorship, and sacred wisdom passed through generations. This card asks: What spiritual structures support you? Are you ready to be initiated into deeper learning, or to guide others with what you’ve learned?
​
Card Meaning (Reversed)
When reversed, The Hierophant encourages you to question outdated beliefs or rebel against structures that no longer fit. This could be the call to find your own spiritual path or break away from conformity. It’s time to trust your personal connection with the divine.
