At least, according to my “what Tarot card are you?” quiz results. Full explanation after the jump.
You are The High Priestess
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.
The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Hi, it’s Kay.
I used my last name (it’s so refreshing).
I tend to show up in readings, for myself and for others…as the Page of Wands! Which I think is cool. As I’ve aged, though, I find I am popping up more often as the Queen of Wands.
Other readers tell me that’s not unusual. Even cooler – cards that really correspond with the querant.
I’m trying to draw a parallel; am getting over a cold and am still rather feverish…so here goes:
I spent a week photographing the graveyards of New England. From rural Massachusetts to Vermont.
Couldn’t help but notice the very first gravestones – of slate, hauled down from Maine by donkeycart – bore very stark imagery. Usually a uniform skull or skull with wings. The early Puritans, and early believers were VERY adamant about “rising on the last day.” In other words, you stay in the ground until the world’s end, then all the worthy rise at once, on cue.
As I moved to graveyards from the Civil War era – you see less slate and far more marble. Easier to obtain – far more gravestones needed to be fashioned to accommodate casualties of the War. You start seeing gentler images – a willow and an urn (1835-1860)…then come the angels.
Near the end of the 1800s, and into the 1900s – to now – you get a virtual parade of saving angels, lambs, Jesuses…and a very different view of death and dying. Infant and child mortality was incredibly high during this period – as various epidemics claimed at least one child out of nearly every family.
It’s clear people no longer believed they stayed in the ground, in a box. I’m thinking, why?
I’m not thinking it was personal experience of bright, violet lights and tunnels.
Something snapped, like ice on a pond; a deep crack, relieving the stress.
We have Jesuses with lambs, angels bearing children to heaven, cherubs.
It’s like Disneyland
with wings.
As a people, we changed. Are we seeing truth?
Or did we see it, briefly – and fly off to something a little easier to take.
