Tarot Card of the Month - May 2025:

As I shuffled through my trusty Tarot deck, I held the following intention in my heart:

What card would most serve the readers in the 4th month of 2025?

Our result?...

The Hierophant!

We continue the second quarter of 2025 with more elevated energy as The Hierophant invites and encourages us to create routines, boundaries, and strong foundational structures in our lives, especially ones that nurture the nobility of our work, as was the theme of last month’s message from the 3 of Coins.

When we receive a Major Arcana card, we are invited to dance with the archetypal energy that the card carries with it. For the Hierophant, the overarching message is that of the inner teacher. Within each of us, there is a part that is always connected to higher wisdom. This part serves as a teacher, leader, or mentor, especially of spiritual concepts and principles, and it is always available for us to resource at any time and for any situation.

The biggest question that The Hierophant asks of us is: how aware of, and how strongly are you connected to, your inner teacher? That is why The Hierophant encourages us to build daily rituals, routines, boundaries, and support structures that nurture our connection to our inner teacher, as well as to our own inner code of moral values.

When we are strongly connected to our higher wisdom, we are able to navigate the complexities of modern life with ease and grace. However, if we do not establish our own relationship with our unique, individual inner teacher, then we may be more susceptible to blindly adopting the views, beliefs, and principles of others without discernment. Further, we might then allow those external influences to rule over our life rather than allowing them to simply guide our life.

From a numerological perspective, as the number 5 card on the Fool’s Journey towards enlightenment, a call to change is implied. The Hierophant embodies the four Earthly elements – earth, air, fire, and water – as well as the 5th energy of the ether or spirit. Layer that with the 5 senses of the human experience – sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste – and The Hierophant represents the bridge between the human experience and spiritual knowing.

Contemplation and inspiration are the Hierophant’s preferred tools of teaching, all in an effort to guide your outer development through philosophical inquiry. Holding space in the infinite in-between areas of the tangible and the spiritual, the Hierophant offers multiple solutions so that you can choose the one that is right for you.

The overarching questions to ask yourself when you see The Hierophant are:

🌀 What are your core beliefs?

🌀 Where do your core beliefs come from – you or someone else?

🌀 Do these core beliefs still resonate with you, or is it time to tweak them?

🌀 What is your process to learn from life experiences?

🌀 How does the history of your family or culture either support or challenge the lessons that you have learned from your own life experiences?

These questions are an invitation to dive deep into your psyche to explore what is there that you want to keep, what you might want to adjust, or what you might want to get rid of completely. Much of the process of growth, development, and ascension involves exploring the inner depths of our own minds so that we can excavate the gold deep within, and to wash away the sediment that doesn’t belong there anymore.

Think of inner inquiry like sifting for gold, for that is how I like to see it.

Tap into the resource of your inner teacher – your highest wisdom – to support you in the process of the sifting, for that is one of the reasons why this resource exists!
