Moon Magic and the High Priestess

Several years ago, a group of fabulous women organized a Moon Magic weekend and invited a bunch of their feminine type friends. I was lucky enough to be included. All the attendees, either singly or in groups, had to present a workshop relating to the Moon.

Everyone in the study group I belonged to at the time was going, so we decided to do a workshop together. The thing we happened to be studying was the tarot major arcana. One of the techniques we used to understand each of the cards was to place ourselves in the position of the figure on the key we were studying and meditate for a few minutes, noticing how the pose made us feel and where our train of thought went. The results were most instructive and really helped us get in tune with the message of each card. So we decided to bring all the stuff in the High Priestess card, which is ruled by the moon, and, over the course of the weekend, dress up each attendee as the High Priestess. We had the white under robe, the deep blue cape, the silver full moon and crescent moons crown, the gray cube that she sits on, the equal armed cross, and the scroll. I think we even had the pillars with the curtain hung between them—although it didn’t have palm trees and pomegranates on it.

When each woman was dressed and positioned on the cube with the scroll in her hand we left her to meditate for a few minutes and get into High Priestess mode. When she was finished meditating, she rang a tiny bell and another woman would enter the room as a seeker and ask the High Priestess a question. We received some amazing answers that left both the priestess and the seeker in awe.

These are the words we read to each woman to help her become the High Priestess.

You are the High Priestess

Your planet is the ever changing, reflective moon, Your element is water, Your color is the blue of the waters of the subconscious, your number is two, meaning duality and balance.

Your crown is the waxing, full, and waning moon, The 3 aspects of the goddess.

You are seated on the cube of the material world; that which is, was, and ever shall be.

On the scroll in your lap are the memories of the world, the cosmic consciousness.

You are seated between the pillars of Jachin and Boaz: positive and negative, emotive and receptive, active and passive.

On your breast is the equal armed cross, which, again, symbolizes balance between active and passive.

Behind you is the veil which divides the conscious from the subconscious and obscures the Greater mysteries.

You are seated at the nexus point of positive and negative, active and passive, conscious and subconscious, logic and intuition. Your foundation is ultimate reality and cosmic consciousness is at your fingertips.

You are the perfect oracle.
Ring the bell when you are ready to advise the seeker
