Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of The Hierophant: “Yes”
The Hierophant is tied to tradition and proven paths, so he leans to “yes” when the decision matches your values and accepted norms.
What the answer depends on
The answer depends on how far the choice matches your convictions. If you go against your conscience for the sake of approval, “yes” will not work.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “Maybe”. The reversed Hierophant moves the answer towards “maybe”: other people's rules or expectations press, and it is worth choosing your own path.
What to do next
Ask a mentor or a person with experience and compare their answer with your values.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: The Hierophant in love is tied to traditions, shared values and serious intentions. If the question is about work: The Hierophant at work is learning, mentoring and following proven rules.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “tradition” in my situation? Is the lack of “mentorship” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “values”?
