In the Tarot of the Lonely Soul, The High Priestess is the mistress of silence. All in blue and white, she embodies the mystical energy of the moon and the purity of the pristine waters that flow from her robe. On her lap she holds an open book that contains the divine wisdom, but it is partly covered, signifying that this sacred knowledge is both explicit and implicit, never entirely revealed. The High Priestess sits in front of a pomegranate tree whose fruits are a symbol of abundance, fertility and the divine feminine, and are sacred to Persephone who ate a pomegranate seed in the underworld and was forced to return every year.
