The
Papess |
In the outside world however, it’s a different story. The Hierophant however, has it all his own way within conventional society. He fixes the rules, the protocols and is situated firmly as his name suggests, within a hierarchy. He is indeed Big Brother to his marginalized, individualized sister. If we want our practice of Tarot Reader to come in out of the cold, we will need to work on reconciling the tensions between Pope and Papess. I suggest we look to our fellow Priests - the traditional yet sibling professions of therapists, counselors, mental health workers and healers - who all operate within conventional systems. If we learn how to integrate the best of their methodologies around for example, supervision and codes of practice, we could provide more support and protection for our profession as well as become more accountable to self, our clients and our calling. However, do we, the High Priestesses want to regulate our profession?
Can we live with Big Brother breathing down our necks, laying down the
law and interpreting our visions? Is the reconciliation of Papess and
Pope possible? |
