The Hierophant Tarot card refers to a teacher and the study of practical lessons through studying natural law. This power of this card suggests an source or agent that could uncover the secrets of the universe and the cycles of the Moon and the tides the connection between human beings and the heavens. Since monasteries were the only where one could study to write and read in the Middle Ages, a Hierophant was one to whom a student would petition to be admitted. The Hierophant was the one who define the novice's study.
Often pictured with the right hand raised in a gesture of blessing The Hierophant is linked with the long-standing lineage of Melchezidek, initiator of the Hebrew priestly tradition, the person who passed on the teachings. Shamans from every tradition use this archetype. If you see that the Hierophant card has been reversed it could indicate that you are bringing an unneeded episode of rebellion against the traditional, long held ideals and spiritual beliefs that belong to your lineage. Consider that, without the steady influence of tradition observed by generations it would be impossible to have a stable support system within which you would be able to stand up to the system.
Find out if you are biting the hand which feeds you. Take care lest you damage your relationship with the Great Mystery. The Hierophant advises that you return to the role of a meticulous student. Study everything you can about your chosen field. Let that knowledge become a part of you and an operative influence on your day-to-day awareness. In this way you will gradually and steadily establish real credibility in your field or chosen area of study. You can earn respect and acknowledgement by completing your education and broadening your expertise. If you already have the experience you need, then rewrite your resume so others can appreciate who you are and what you bring to the circumstance. Concentrate on your goals and stay focused. You might be the one to become a master of your area of expertise.
