Llewellyn's Priestess is Ceridwen, goddess of the witches. She has the cauldron of inspiration and seems to be part of the landscape. In fact, she seems to stand for nature itself. I love all the flowing water in this card.

Marchetti's Guilded Priestess has already been posted here, but I like to compare her to the others. She is a very dreamlike figure, floating in air in profile, rather than the usual frontal hieratic position. Her water world is unveiled and the moon symbol very prominent, reminding me of the Moon card, the subconscious. This one is probably my favorite.

The Universal Priestess is very outlandish, floating over an alien landscape on her throne. There are a couple of masks at the front that have me quite perplexed. Once again, this is the one I find it harder to relate to.

Removing her cover, letting people see the real you, awakening. Could be that she is hiding her self behind the cloth but it seems as though she is removing it. Not too sure what the moon could mean........Any insights? Get the impression that maybe she has been through a stage where she has been hurt and has put a shield up the protect herself.

RW The High Priestess:
Dark hair: a mind full of secrets.
White Cloak: purity.
Blue Cloack: peacefulness.
Veil is made up of palms (suffering) and pomegranates(abundance).
Yes, she is holy, she is inactive, she has got knowledge which we sometimes dont, as she holds mysetries and secrets which will be revealed to us in due course. She sits between the good and the bad, right and wrong and acts as a divine mediator.
She looks very skinny to me in the RW deck, but her food comes from the divine.
I get an eerie feeling about when I get the High Priestess in my readings, but gradually am warming to her, as so far she has not told a bad tale. Her secrets have usually turned out to be good - given the patience to wait and see.
She is a holy mother in a nutshell that governs our intuition and psychic world.
