The Core Meaning* of The High Priestess in Tarot
HIDDEN
The High Priestess is the keeper of knowledge that is occult but not forbidden. Her connection to the Moon highlights the inner world, and refers as well to her ties to the pursuit of wisdom of one's own. This wisdom or information is there, but remains unknown until one comes across it (or goes looking for it).
What does this mean in real-life? I chose "hidden" to be my core meaning simply because The High Priestess does not speak about things that are in the open, but within or behind a veil. Nontheless, nothing stops the querent from finding out the not so obvious if they set themselves to it. It refers what's going on underneath or within and references unknown elements.
