The Hierophant. This is the card that represents you,
in the form of your own, truest voice, your own
soul--that calm, quiet whisper within you that knows
everything...Your intuition...Your psychic vox...The
Hierophant is a masculine force, a man within who truly
knows The Truth. He's that gut reaction, that first
instinct which comes before your chaotic environment
can invade your decision making with its confusing,
babbling voices. Listen to The Heirophant from now on
because, unlike that demonic chatter, his is a voice
that knows the truth. He's the one who blurts out that
first instinctual answer. Meditate, to reach him. He's
that first intuition that is always, always right.
When in a trap or a mental dilemma, just calm down,
breathe deeply, and then you'll hear him. Listen to him
and him only because he's the part of you who knows the
way out.
He's very, very powerful. Just like all the Trumps
cards, he's an immortal force. Find The Heirophant by
listening to your soul, and he will always lead the way
back to the light.

The V. Heirophant is the 'macrocosm' and is the most
spiritualized or 'intiated' being on Earth. He is the
person who acts like Thoth or the god Mercury, as the
messenger of the god-head. Attributed with the Hebrew
letter Vav, or Nail, this figure can be summarized as
being apart of the all-important Tetragrammaton.
Ruling the zodiac sign of Taurus, it shows that the
figure is earth-bound, love to cultivate new projects
(but not finish them) and are materialistic. Within a
reading, card represents the conscious mind under the
Will. Remember that this card is not bad or good,
however, when looking at the Hierophant's smile in the
Thoth Deck will lend a hand to the over-all
interpretation. In the Tree of Life, the Heirophant
represents the VI path and is considered the
All-Father. Do not let the simplicity of this card's
graphics fool the mind to think so little of it's
meaning.

The Heirophant has something to teach, wisdom with
which to bless, but unfortunately, the querent usually
is reluctant to learn. Valuable lessons are often the
hardest to get through, and it is the burden of the
querent to persevere, not of the Heirophant to
sugar-coat or babysit. If the querent is not prepared
to do what it takes to progress, then they should not
be looking for guidance.

Vav: Nail. Something used to attach one thing
to another. He is the old man inside, the watcher,
the executor of the divine Will. He bring mystical
meaning to the mundane, and attempts to
interpret all phenomena as an interaction between
ourselves and The Divine.

The Hierophant represent the energy of wisdom and
mastery on all levels of being. That is spiritual
(wands), intellectual (swords), emotional (cups) and
physical (disks). It is number 5 in the major arcana
and corresponds to the number 5 cards in the minor
arcana. The Hierophant energy is the source of inner
guidance, the "Inner Teacher." When in balance with
the energy of the Hierophant one has mastered the
problematic energies of the minor arcana. spiritual
strife (5 of wands), mental defeat (5 of swords),
emotional disappointment (5 of cups) and worry (5 of
disks). Tap into your Inner Teacher for guidance and
direction and you'll find the answer.

The Hierophant holds the staff of learning and
wisdom. He handles all the details and is good
with contracts, written and verbal.
He is good with animals. He is a family man and
a father figure. He could be a veterinarian,
lawyer, or minister. His life challenges are
patience, learning to live in the present and
being a worry-wort.

Unfortunately one of the bad aspects of this card is that although it has the ability to make correct
judgements/moral evaluations or to preach, the heirophant can have a tendency to over criticise.
