The Hierophant – Five
Upright: Religion, group identification, conformity, tradition,
beliefs
Reversed: Restriction, challenging the status quo
The Hierophant is the final leg of the triad and he
represents Spirit, and this card is all about beliefs whether this is religious
or otherwise. The Hierophant can also stand for groups of more than one
person, and in the majority of cases he is better represented by an institution
than by a single person. This is because his is the power of the group and the
society, who change the world to fit their beliefs.
When the Hierophant appears it will often be in the form of a
teacher or a mentor, who do not need to be of a spiritual or mystical
background; as an employer training a new employee in the operation of a
business is as much a Hierophant as any religious teacher. But do not make the
grave mistake of openly seeking such a teacher - as the old proverb says, when
the student is ready, the teacher will appear. The Hierophant is also letting
us know that sometimes we just need to have faith that things will be working
out as they should, it may not be as we want them to be but it will be for our
benefit in the long run.
