Meditator
The Meditator is more traditionally known as The High Priestess which is number 2 of the Major Arcana of Tarot. It is associated with introspection, ritual, dream work, tarot reading and meditation.
Turning Inward Through Meditation
One of the most effective ways to turn inward is to sit in meditation. By quieting the mental chatter while sitting in stillness, deeper aspects of the self come to the surface. The High Priestess Archetype prefers to turn inward to find motivation and insight. It can be though as an introverted expression of deepening the spiritual process of creation. From this place visions of answers to unresolved questions can emerge.
Establishing Your Invocation
Now is the time to establish an affirmation statement you make when you wish to call in a deeper experience. It is a way to call in the divine into this moment. It is unique to your spiritual path, and what resonates deeply with you. While in this archetype, establish your default invocation, by spending time on it. Come up with a first draft, then refine it. It can be any length, but 2 to 3 sentences works well. Giving and Receiving Tarot Card Readings
The High Priestess Archetype is an ideal archetype to embody when dealing with Tarot Cards a tool for self reflection or social interaction with others. While studying this archetype I pulled 3 tarot cards daily and placed them out on an alter as a daily ritual. 3 cards create a story, and a unique message as the card meanings blend together.
User Tarot Cards Alone and With Others
Tarot cards can help deepen social interaction with friends and strangers by bringing the topic of conversation to what shows up in the cards. I spent time giving tarot card readings to friends and acquaintances, being sure to remain tuned in and respectful to the process. I tell people a few things to help them understand how it works and to feel comfortable:
- Tarot cards hold non-verbal symbols of universal human experiences and spiritual insights. Whether the cards show up at random or are guided by psychic forces, they open a window to view your life from a different perspective.
- Your interpretation of what shows up is what is most valuable. I am here as a guide to help the other person gain insight and integrate the card imagery.
- There are no rules. If something doesn’t feel right about the reading, or if you feel called to change something, do it.
Deepening the Spiritual Journey within
By tuning in, taking alone time, and listening to the deepest and highest spiritual voice within, teaches that we all have inner wisdom that can help us add more meaning and purpose to life. This tends to be an introverted experience. Once aligned with the deepest insight it naturally leads to a desire to manifest something magnificently beautiful in an extroverted way. This naturally leads to the next Archetype: The Empress (Divine Feminine).
