The hierophant

 

 

 

Shall we discuss this next. Would love to hear your thoughts on this card.

I quite like this card. Unlike some Hierophant cards, there is no element of worship in this depiction. The man is an ordinary teacher, teaching his room full of pupils about religions and ways of thinking in general. I presume, as a teacher, he is teaching the standard for 'the done thing' in each of these religions and philosophies.

Some Hierophants get my back hair up a bit, as I am NOT religious and would resent being stifled by religion or overly smothered by rules and regulations. But this teacher is offering pure learning. He is not preaching, but probably the lessons he's teaching can be sensibly applied to life as it is. It's good to have a wide view, in my opinion.
