From the Roots of Asia Tarot, the High Priestess; from the Mahjongg Oracle, the Tiger:
The sense of self is inextricably linked to your self-talk — to your thoughts and inner dialogue — and we’re constantly interpreting reality through thought.
—Brechen MacRae
The High Priestess represents the luminous wisdom within us, the awareness that sees reality without adding all of our prejudices and preferences on top of it. It grants us objective clarity without self-referencing and self-centeredness attached. Make no mistake: what it shines a light on can feel threatening to the mental construct known as the ego. Yet it can help us navigate all of life more successfully, with the benefit of not adding suffering to the world. The Tiger is a symbol of power, strength and bravery. It reminds us that our inner wisdom is of no help if we don't act on it. As the Chinese proverb goes, "Talk does not cook rice."
