From the New Era Elements Tarot, the Hierophant; from the Tao Oracle, Pushing Upward (Hexagram 46):
God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist. May your work help all of us to cherish our commonalities and feel enlarged by our differences.
~Jonathan Sacks
The Hierophant is an authority of a belief system that instructs and guides; he or she tends to
congregate people seeking spiritual wisdom. What's in it for the followers? If their leader is honest
and kind, they receive helpful support for navigating a life that can be challenging. The group as a
whole can also offer a feeling of belonging. Yet even the most sincere leader can make blunders;
their knowledge may be advanced but they are only human. When in doubt of their advice, it may
be beneficial to ask if following their counsel would result in relieving suffering or causing it (for
others or one's self). Pushing Upward (hexagram 46) suggests we are making slowly making
progress, helped along by support from a variety of sources and the past challenges we have met.
