Wake up! Cardinal is chirping at you—bringing a message of personal power. Stop shrinking from your destiny. Stop pretending that you are less than. If you are unsure of your path, ask Cardinal to fly with you—it’s certain he will help you focus, gain clarity, formulate a plan, become self-assured, and step out into the world with the confidence befitting a person of your power.
Traditionally called the High Priestess, this major arcana, or trump, card represents human wisdom. She can be viewed as a kind of female Pope, the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the even older snake and bird Goddesses, the Greek Goddess Persephone, or the Eve of Genesis before the Fall.
For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, she symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.
In the sequence of cards in the major arcana, the High Priestess appears as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magus. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the Inner Life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative study of Nature and the Holy Mysteries.
Casting of the Circle
I conjure thee, o circle of power,
As thou encircle every tower,
That thou be a place of truth, joy, and love,
Encircling flight of eagle, hawk, and dove.
Mighty Aegis of the Lady and Lord,
Rampart of thought, action, and word.
To work in peace, power, and free,
Who walk between two worlds I conjure thee;
A boundary to protect, concentrate, and contain,
That power raised here be not in vain.
Releasing the Circle
Farewell, Spirit of the North Stone
I give thanks for your presence here.
Go in Power.
Farewell Spirit of the East Stone.
I give thanks for your presence here.
Go in Power.
Farewell, Spirit of the South Stone.
I give thanks for your presence here.
Go in Power.
Farewell, Spirit of the West Stone
I give thanks for your presence here.
Go in Power.

January 7 – Daily Feast
The earth is too small for all the lonely people to have missed each other so completely. But the voice of loneliness seems to persist and deepen with every hour. The Cherokee elder teaches the young person, “Learn to know and like yourself. Learn to be your own best friend.” Learn the art of enjoyable solitude – of having lunch with yourself and being comfortable about it. A person alone is unique. A lonely person shows it in his haunted stare. Sometimes loneliness comes because we have not made room for anyone else. We need to stretch out beyond our boundaries, step out of familiar territory, stop nursing emptiness and self-indulgence. Loneliness is looking for something to fill a void. Joy is expanding so that others want to share our lives.
~ May your way be blessed with life by the unifying force of the Great Holy Spirit. ~
