The Hierophant represents the spiritual guide within each of us that links our wordly persona with our higher spiritual nature. IN the way he helps us to establish a dialog between our conscious mind and the part of us that seeks to communicate with our source.
The Hierophant relfects our inner desire to give meaning to things and to raise our concsiousness to that we no longer feel divided within oursevles. He is the driving force behind the spiritual beleifs and philosophical values that each of us forms. Sooner or later life requires us to put these to the test and see if they are able to sustain us. Ultimately the Hierophant symblizes our innate desire to achive a balance between our wordly and spiritual impulses so that we become whole.
*A Hierophant was a priest in ancient Greece, the Hierophant, is sometimes called the Pope
