This High Priestess card tells us to focus on our dreams, intuition, and genetic memory – all things that are easily pushed to the wayside in day-to-day life. Make some time to focus on your dream and inner thoughts, perhaps by journaling, meditation, a quiet walk in the wood, or a repetitive activity that lets your mind wander (crochet, snapping beans, etc). Perhaps these dreams and thoughts will come into play this week.
Also, it’s been a while since I shared a Tarot Kitty pic – today, Cerridwen was all over it, even while I was posting the card.

The High Priestess – Mugwort
Follow the fragrance of mystery; awaken ancient memory; and divine messages in dream and visions.
An unfinished mugwort dream pillow of stars and moons lies on a blue silk cloth. The thread, still attached to the needle, loops around curled leaves. A small scroll tied with satin ribbons is tucked inside. Three rose hips split open, revealing their seeds, near vials of copal and storax resin. A moon-phase pendant is draped across the table.
Meaning: The mystery summons the awakening one. Answer the call. Known for its aromatic leaves, mugwort enhances dreams and strengthens intuition. Just as the bitter taste of the tea is hard to swallow, what is revealed may be unpleasant. Healing is sure to come once your visions are acknowledged. The silver leaves of mugwort easily hide the plant from all but the best foragers; this is a secret between you and the dreamtime. You need not share.
Crafting with the High Priestess:
• To follow the fragrance of mystery, seek your native mugwort in the wild.
• Make a dream pillow with mugwort tucked inside to invite lucid dreaming.
• Burn mugwort incense before journaling session to decipher messages in dreams and visions.
