Artist Interpretation

Carrying a very special tree branch as his sceptre, and wearing a sacred wrap around his fur, the Hierophant stands between two birch trees burning, one white ritual candle on his antler. He is an educator and here to share his wisdom, experience, the old ways and traditions.

Card Meaning

You have a choice between listening to advice and following a conventional path, or ignoring others and going it alone. The Hierophant recommends that you go with the flow in this situation. He is a traditionalist, a role model, and has wisdom to impart. The trees forming pillars behind him are suggestive of an entranceway – he can open doors to you and act as a guide, offering illumination (the candle on his antler), but only if you listen to his teachings, and play by the rules.
