Personal Insights & Other Notes: The High Priestess can be a daunting figure but so can our inner thoughts. We will often push aside our deepest intutions and instead choose to listen to the world around us, even when we know we're right. Amidst all the noise, sometimes we have to be ready to embrace our instincts, even when there's no one else on our side. We're enough.
