From the Russian Lubok Tarot, the High Priestess; from the Marseille Oracle, Inspiration:
I am convinced that we humans do better when we have something to ground us, a deep source from which we can draw wisdom, insight, and inspiration. The goal of that source is to empower us, to bring depth and fulfillment to our lives, to give us the means to soar.
― Lawrence Levy (former Pixar CEO)
The Gamayun, a prophetic bird of Russian folklore, illustrates the High Priestess in this card. She knows that thinking is a human solution for problems, but she realizes that it often just adds more problems. Instead, a resolution can often be found in stillness, calm and quiet, when the luminous mind can rise above the ego. It has no preferences and prejudices, but sees with clarity, compassion and wisdom. As the Inspiration card implies, this mind can give us insight and guide our creative ideas.
