Revisiting Tarot Card Meanings

The Hierophant

  • Earth, Venus, Taurus
  • concealment (with good intentions)
  • distortion of truth (with good intentions)
  • Pope Clement V

The Hierophant Reversed

  • self-determination

Taurus surprises me. Taurus reminds of down-to-earth people and agriculture, not divine representatives. Venus surprises me. Venus reminds me of pleasure and sensuality, not the pressures and restrictions of religious institutions. I would have guessed Leo (self-importance), Virgo (rules and micromanagement), Capricorn (restriction and severity), or Pisces (dogma and religion). But I see that we’re “going in order” and Taurus follows Aries.
