Episode 198 – Breaking the Frame: On the High Priestess in the Tarot
Episode 198 – Breaking the Frame: On the High Priestess in the TarotDescription
Since 2020, Phil and JF have been creating an on-again, off-again series on the major trumps, or "arcana," of the tarot. In this episode, they continue the series with a discussion of the second arcanum: the High Priestess, also known as la Papesse, the female pope. One of the most enigmatic and powerful cards in the deck, the High Priestess symbolizes duality, contemplation, and manifestation.
