The Hierophant, V

The Tarot Hierophant represents God's everlasting grace. Reminiscent of ancient bards, he is a teacher and storyteller. The Hierophant prays to God for understanding and compassion when listening to others. He prays that he is not overly critical or fanatic. He prays that his actions reveal tolerance and reflect the love that God has for all his children. He does this while defending his beliefs and freeing himself from anything that would turn him away from God's will. However, he may struggle from time to time with pride, which is often related to his traditional (old-school) viewpoints. The danger is in using those traditions to manipulate others for the sake of power over the flock.

Keywords: Spiritual teaching or guidance, traditionalism, conservatism, orthodox, obedience to God, belonging, insight, advice, counsel, or personal self-development, teaching or learning in a socially accepted manner, and, when reversed, dictatorial, fanaticism, or choosing a nontraditional path or philosophy
