April 1856
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for April 1856 is The High Priestess. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the initiation third of the wheel.
The High Priestess is the part of you that knows things without being able to explain how. She is the knowing that arrives before the reasons do, the one you can't show your work for. Where the Magician acts, she waits and listens.
