Sophia Woodcut,by Durer 1502 |
High Priestess
|
||
The high priestess Tarot card also shows an enthroned woman. Many tarot historians say she is Sophia, because Sophia’s trademark is the wisdom throne, like pictured here in this 500-year-old woodcut by Abrecht Durer. Others say the High Priestess card shows Mary Magdalene, or perhaps Mother Mary. Okay, so we know the biblical Hokmah, aka Sophia, was feminine. |
