There's magic in thinking for yourself.


Hey Reader,

Halloween is my favorite season — obviously. The costumes, the creativity, the weird little rituals that let us play with mystery and magic. But for a long time, I didn't care for Halloween, Tarot, and all this spooky stuff. I grew up being taught that Tarot, astrology, and witchy stuff were the devil. And I believed them.

It wasn’t until I got curious that I started asking questions. What’s actually behind these traditions? What do they mean, where did they come from, and why have people found wisdom in them for centuries? It was then that I stopped accepting someone else’s opinion — I learned to research, to explore, to form my own understanding.

Now, Tarot isn’t something I’m afraid of. It’s something I deeply love and respect for the knowledge and insight I get from using these cards. And that, my friends, is The Hierophant in action: seeking knowledge, understanding tradition, and learning how to apply wisdom in your own way.

I connect deeply with this card, it's actually my Soul Card, aligned to who I am as a person (if you wanna know more about soul cards, shoot me a reply and we'll nerd out).

Weekly Tarot Card.

The Hierophant represents structure, tradition, and learning. He’s the teacher, the mentor, the one who connects what’s ancient with what’s relevant right now. When this card shows up, it’s an invitation to learn from systems and traditions — but not to be ruled by them.

It’s about finding your truth in the middle of the noise. Maybe that means going back to school, finding a mentor, or studying something that’s been calling you. Or maybe it’s about questioning what you’ve always been told, and deciding what actually aligns with your values now.

If the Fool is about starting the journey, the Magician is about using your tools, and the High Priestess is about trusting your intuition, The Hierophant says: “Learn the rules so you can decide which ones are worth keeping.”

A Powerful Question.

Where in my life could I benefit from learning more — instead of just accepting what I’ve been told?.

Shameless reminder: I love reading Tarot. I love reading Tarot. My readings don’t stop at “here’s what the cards say.” You get Ally-style coaching baked in, so you can take what you learn and actually do something with it.
