6 - Tarot Card Interpretations from the Major Arcana: V The Heirophant

During this series of articles I shall be using my personal deck to interpret the Tarot deck.  The meanings relate to most decks and so you can apply them to your own personal readings.  The Tarot deck I am using is called The Classic Tarot by Della Rocca.

The Tarot deck has two sections; The Major Arcana of 22 Cards plus a further four suits of 14 cards altogether comprising of 78 cards in total.  The Heirophant is the Fifth card taken from the Major Arcana.

The Holy Father of the Tarot Deck.  The Pope, the Wise Man, one further from the Emperor with not only age old wisdom but with a spiritual edge on the answer to your question.  The male version of the High Priestess, a lady in touch with her spiritual side and although younger than The Heirophant, she has the strength and confidence to state her beliefs and act on them.  The Hierophant will give you his advice fairly and with the confidence that he too has lived through difficult times and seen wars and heartache.  He has also seen miracles, people changing and knows how unearthly creatures can manifest themselves into our minds causing negativity and regret. 

As the intermediary to our personal God or Gods we use him as a portal for spritual advice and can ask him anything we wish without worry for being judged.  Whatever sin or evil we have encountered we can feel cleansed when we have been with him.  Similar to the confession box we can unload our worries and feel inspired by his willingess to forgive.  He does not wish us to forget what we have done or what has happened to us, for surely we shall not learn from this experience if we do this.  Instead we use what has happened to us in the past that was negative and damaging to our soul to empower ourself.  We may aswell make something positive out of a desperately hopeless situation instead of creating a space for the negativity to grow and swell larger. 

We shall fear not the way people think of us (as above) and instead rise up against all that cannot open their mind to greater things and prove that we can stand up and become a more recognised.  Negativity is indigenous and inevitable in life but not to be taken over by Postivity and what is more powerful than anything else.. Faith in healing and overcoming the bad times.  We empower ourselves with inspiration from The Heirophant and trust in him 100%.  Take from him his wisdom, strength, honesty and willingness to grow.  You will surprise yourself everytime.
