Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, and “The High Priestess” card has really been resonating with me. I wanted to see if I could embody some of her qualities in my daily life, so I decided to spend a week trying to be, well, a High Priestess-type person. Here’s how it went:
Day 1: Setting the Stage
First, I cleared out my workspace. I mean really cleared it. I’m talking about the junk drawer, the pile of papers I’ve been ignoring, all of it. I wanted a clean, calm environment to start this experiment. I even lit some candles and put on some chill music—the kind with no lyrics, just vibes. I felt so much lighter. Then I grabbed my tarot deck and a journal and thought “Alright. How to embody this Priestess.”
Day 2: Intuition Overdrive
Today, I focused on listening to my gut. No overthinking! Every decision, big or small, I tried to tune into that inner voice. Did I want tea or coffee? I closed my eyes, took a breath, and… tea it was. It was weird at first, like, what if my intuition tells me to do something crazy? But it was mostly little things, and it actually felt pretty good.
Day 3: The Power of Silence
This was the hardest one. I decided to spend a good chunk of the day in silence. No phone, no music, no talking unless absolutely necessary. I wanted to see what it was like to just… be. It was tough! My mind kept racing, but I kept bringing myself back to the present moment. I noticed things I usually don’t, like the way the light hit my plants, the sounds of the birds outside. It was… peaceful. I felt a deeper connection. I didn’t realize until then.
Day 4: Embracing Mystery
The High Priestess is all about the unknown, right? So I tried something new, something I’d never done before. I went to a meditation class. I’ve always been curious, but never actually gone. It was a little awkward at first, sitting there with strangers, but I tried to embrace the uncertainty. And you know what? It was actually pretty amazing. My mind and body felt at peace.
Day 5: Deep Dive into Dreams
I started a dream journal. Every morning, as soon as I woke up, I jotted down anything I could remember. Even if it was just fragments, or feelings. It was surprisingly hard at first, but after a few days, I started recalling more and more. It’s like I was opening up a whole new channel of communication with myself.
Day 6: Connecting with Nature
I went out of town and into the countryside. I walked in the sunshine and the wind. I listened to the water, the rustle of the trees, and the earth under my feet. I felt myself become a part of them all. The peace and quiet I had been cultivating came out to play in this new environment. I sat down and closed my eyes. I felt an energy I had not known before.
Day 7: Reflection and Integration
Today, I looked back on the week. I flipped through my journal, read my dream notes, and just thought about the whole experience. It wasn’t about becoming a literal High Priestess, of course. It was about incorporating some of those qualities – intuition, stillness, connection to the unknown – into my everyday life.
And you know what? I think it worked. I feel more grounded, more centered, more in tune with myself. I didn’t have any earth-shattering revelations, but I did learn to trust my gut a little more, to appreciate the power of silence, and to embrace the mystery of life. It’s something I definitely want to continue exploring. Maybe I’ll make it a monthly thing. Who knows? The High Priestess would probably approve.
