From the Fey Tarot, the Seer (High Priestess); from the I Misteri Della Sibilla, the Eight of Hearts:
To "Know Thyself," as the ancient Greeks encouraged, means a practice of self-awareness and personal accountability. We see our strengths and limitations, our motivations, our patterns of behavior, and the defense mechanisms that protect our egos. The Seer/High Priestess understands wisdom and insight requires effort and practice. We're inclined to dismiss what others tell us much more often than when we suddenly see and understand things on our own. She would tell us to study with an open mind, but more importantly, find some time for quiet and stillness to observe and question our thoughts. The Eight of Hearts implies doing pleasant, relaxing things to help restore an optimistic outlook. Relaxing in such ways can relax our minds too, moving us away from future plans or reliving the past. It's a good chance to see where our mind naturally goes, and practice changing the channel if necessary.
