The Hierophant Month

Earth

This month your card is the Hierophant. A good month to go back to something foundational, to sit with a practice or a teaching you've been carrying a long time and feel whether it still has life in it. The thing to watch: the Hierophant month can make it comfortable to defer to the authority of what's always been done instead of asking what this moment actually needs. The tradition exists to serve you, not the other way around.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Hierophant, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Hierophant is the part of you that learns from what came before. He is tradition, lineage, the knowledge that gets handed down rather than invented from scratch. He stands for belonging to something older than yourself.
