The Hierophant - Tumblr Posts
Starting today I will post an interpretation of one of the 78 cards of the Tarot each Thursday. Today I start with The Hierophant. Comments and questions on my take on it are welcome! The Hierophant generally refers to two aspects: belief systems and social structures. While belief systems encompass religion, ideology, as well as questions of morality and traditional values, social structures can denote institutions related to government, education, or faith, as well as a company, family, and other communities. As an authority figure in both areas, The Hierophant demands obedience to established rules and engagement in certain rituals to uphold a specific belief system/social structure. Combining The Hierophant with other Tarot cards The Hierophant & The Tower This can be a warning to either (possibly) prevent the collapse of familiar beliefs/structures or to be prepared for the possibilities and chances the collapse of the established order will open up. Relatedly, this combination can also be read as a chance to make a radical change to one’s life structure and provide new opportunities for oneself and others. The Hierophant & VIII of Cups This combination is about leaving behind either deeply ingrained personal habits/beliefs or adherence to long-held traditions/structures in order to find emotional fulfillment. The combination can warn you that clinging onto the old may provide a sense of security but will leave you unfulfilled or show that you can find fulfillment in the deep and unfamiliar.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Major Arcana • Part 01
Spider-Man / Peter Parker
Suspended between spiritual and earthly existence, the beautiful Fool is the newly born soul embarking on a bright adventure. Free, clear-hearted, unformed, and open to discover, he needs the counsel of others and would be wise to listen when it is offered. With limitless possibilities before him, he is anxious with seeking and excited for what life is ready to teach. With an open heart, he is led by the inner voice of his true Self.
Iron Man / Tony Stark
As the first guide on the journey to enlightenment, the Magician reveals the raw symbols of the tools from which anything can be created. He advises that all new creations, if they are to succeed, require more than just skill: they require faith in the unknowable. The Magician urges you to speak aloud what it is that you want—to will it into existence, releasing it from the world of mere hopes and thoughts.
The Ancient One
The High Priestess will receive you if your desire is true and you are willing to explore your spirit, free of the need for answers or religion. True wisdom comes from quiet, solitary reflection and trusting your own personal experience of life. The High Priestess is veiled wisdom. She is the space between extremes where ideas and thoughts are uncovered, where they emerge and expand. Those who are brave enough to listen in her stillness will gain the strength and conviction they seek for future actions.
Queen Ramonda
As the ultimate mother, she will nurture you through the unique moments of each particular stage of growth—through the cycles of life, death, rebirth, creation, and destruction. Relax into the safe glow of her embrace, and begin what is there to begin.
Black Panther / T'Challa
A symbol of authority, the Emperor stands powerfully on his earthly foundation and uses his intelligence to create order and structure of his surroundings. Grand achievements are not built overnight; they require a mature coordination of foresight, planning, and bold fearlessness. The Emperor declares that now is the time for exerting control over the situation, defining limits, and showing confidence in one's abilities.

The Hierophant protects the traditions and offers guidance and practical advice to the community. Though they are not his own, they have all been entrusted to him and he shares them freely with anyone who asks. He is the illuminating link between our most cherished beliefs and the actual living of those beliefs in our daily lives. The Hierophant asks you to honestly assess how well your convictions translate into words and actions. He can be a stubborn teacher, but his counsel is worth considering. It will undoubtedly guide you toward inner harmony.
Based on my placements, I'm more connected with the Fool, the Magician, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hermit, the Temperance, the Sun, the Moon and the World 😂 But my birth cards are the Lovers/Devil (6/15 in sum), and in general I feel like the Empress and the Sun (my venus in 10th and my Leo sun/dominance ☀️)
