The Tarot Table with Miriam Rachel

The High Priestess is the guardian of intuition, mystery, and the subconscious as this is the card representing my guest on The Tarot Table. Sitting between light and dark pillars, she represents balance between opposites and access to hidden knowledge. Her scroll, often marked with “TORA,” symbolizes divine wisdom—truths not revealed through logic alone. When she appears, she urges you to trust your inner voice and wait before taking action. Silence and reflection are powerful now. What’s unseen matters as much as what’s visible. The High Priestess reminds you: answers come not through force, but through patience, dreams, and the still, deep waters of your own inner knowing. The High Priestess is my guest, Lori Lytle.  Who Is Lori Lytle?Lori Lytle shares both mystical insight and grounded guidance through her tarot practice on social media and beyond.
