Okay, so today I decided to dive into something a bit different – tarot cards. Specifically, I wanted to explore the “outcome” position using The Hierophant card. I’ve been feeling a little lost lately, unsure of my next steps, so I figured, why not see what the cards have to say?
First, I cleared my space. I lit a candle, put on some chill music, and made sure I wouldn’t be disturbed. I believe that setting the right atmosphere is the first important for me. Then, I shuffled my deck, focusing on my question: “What will be the outcome if I follow my current path?” It’s vague, I know, but I wanted to keep it open.
I used a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future (outcome). I laid out the first two cards, no problem. Got some interesting insights there, but the real focus was on that final card, the outcome.

And there it was: The Hierophant. I have to admit, my initial reaction was, “Huh?” I mean, it’s not a “bad” card, but it felt a little…stuffy? Traditional? I wasn’t sure how it related to my very non-traditional life.
So, I pulled out my trusty tarot guidebook. I always like to check a few different sources to get a broader understanding. The book talked about structure, institutions, and seeking guidance from established systems.
My Interpretation and Feeling
- Structure: This resonated with me. Maybe I need to create more routine in my life. I’ve been feeling scattered, so this could be a sign to get organized.
- Institutions: This one was trickier. I’m not a big fan of big institutions, but maybe it means seeking out a mentor or joining a group related to my interests. Find support in a formal way.
- Guidance: This made sense. It’s not about blindly following rules, but about learning from those who have experience. Find someone who’s walked a similar path.
After thinking about it, I realized The Hierophant wasn’t telling me to conform. It was suggesting I find a balance between my own way of doing things and the wisdom of established practices. Maybe take a class, join a community, or even just commit to a regular schedule.
It’s not a definitive answer, of course. But it gave me something to ponder. The outcome, according to The Hierophant, is a need for structure and seeking guidance. It’s up to me to figure out what that looks like in my own life. The journey, after all, is what it’s all about, right?
