The Fool – Divine Clown is one with the Self - ”the spirit in search of experience.” He represents pure energy, an extension of God, or Source, or All That Is. He has no opinion or judgment because he has no ego. His task is to become aware, to experience and ultimately throw off the ego to become pure once more. Along the way he unlocks aspects of himself to assist the experience of expansion. He is the protagonist that mocks our limited beliefs. The White Dog – Devotion is his companion the Soul, that faithfully shows the path for the spirit to travel on. The Soul when ego is defeated places the correct frequency for the Spirit to expand on

Here we meet The Hierophant.

The fifth lesson of the fool’s journey. A lesson

that is one of the hardest for all of us to learn.

After he met his father and learned how to

encompass himself through the world on his

own, he is now ready to meet a teacher that

will always find him again and again, a

teacher of life. He is the saviour in all of us. He

is the one we continue to meet in our lives in

order to show us our truest lives and lessons.

He also stands for the number five archetype

and show’s that we must realize our own tasks

here and the lessons we will face as well, no

matter how hard they will be to take in.

The number 5 is a halfway point in the

numbers from 1 to 9. It is considered the

number of Man himself, as the midpoint and

the mediator between Nature and God. Thus

the Teacher acts as a bridge between

lower/outer Earth and higher/inner Heaven –

a turning point. a turning point. A pope or

bishop is called pontifex, a Latin word meaning

“bridge-maker.” a turning point.

But we must remember that the Teacher is not

aligned with any particular religion or faith. He

represents the Inner Voice which instructs us

in universal principles and becomes a

connecting link between our outer experience

and our inner Illumination. This Key relates to

the Self within and the Teacher represents the

teaching of Truth which comes from within.

The High Priestess. She represents the inner secrets, the wisdom that can only be learned through experience. She represents what an initiate receives during initiation, that which cannot be spoken but only known. The Hierophant prepares the initiate, in so far as it is possible, for initiation, or to experience the High Priestess. The Hierophant is closer to the material world than The High Priestess is and that he exercises worldly authority in addition to spiritual authority.

A great spiritual leader,

One which embodies the essence of the

wisdom and knowledge of the divine

Free from dogma.

He is the basis of awareness of that which lies

beyond the physical senses.

His wisdom flows through him from all sources,

teachings of histories past, learnings from life

experiences, and wisdom from beyond which

he received by his devotion to practices.

He is both the learning and teaching of Cosmic

Law, and by doing so, in his heart births a new

level of consciousness into this world.

The Hierophant is an indicator of two principle energies: “Learn from within, and learn from each other.” It is by taking our own spirituality into our hands that we awaken the spirit of Christ Consciousness within

A spiritual leader is not one single individual, but an open hearted consciousness that may flow through all of us, everyone exploring their spirituality openly. It can be described as “Christ Consciousness“, which is a place of supreme compassion and understanding, as well as divine connection to the Divine Father and Mother.

Here the subconscious response to reason carries

development still further and enhances the results.

The word “in-tuition” means interior teaching. It

goes beyond mere hunches and brings a direct

perception of eternal principles resulting from the

union of personal consciousness with Cosmic

Consciousness. It would more accurately be called

Spiritual Intuition.
