LIVING WATER: the High Priestess corresponds to the moon; and, like the moon, she has close affinities to the element of water.
The bottom of her blue-white robe forms a stream that flows out of the card. This stream forms the source of the rivers and pools seen in the subsequent major arcana.
This symbol of water flowing out of the temple comes from a vision recorded by the prophet Ezekiel. In the vision, Ezekiel sees water trickling out of the East side of Solomon’s temple, below the altar.
He follows it, and wherever it flows it brings life—even to the driest desert. When the river meets the sea, it turns the salt water into fresh water.
The High Priestess sits in the same temple Ezekiel describes. The water flowing from her robes is the stream of the cosmic unconscious mind. The major arcana are the keys for tapping into this mind, this source. When we partake of this living water, new images blossom in our minds, which have the power to heal and feed us.
“And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”—Ezekiel 47:12
