The Hierophant
Upright
Two acolytes kneel before a robed teacher holding the keys to established knowledge. Upright, the Hierophant points to what is proven and shared — a mentor, an institution, a method that works because generations tested it before you.
Reversed
Reversed: outdated convention followed out of habit, or a healthy break from a tradition that no longer serves you.
If it's your card today
Good day to learn from someone further along, rather than reinvent the method yourself.
