Inana,
There was a part of the Jewish Temple called the Holy of Holies. This area was where the spirit of G-d resided. Only the High Priest was allowed to go there. The Ark of the Covenant was also kept there. There was a veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the scared area. If you notice on the High Priestess card there is a veil behind her. We can see a bit of what is behind the veil. Having access to “behind the veil” means communing with G-d, touching your higher self, being one with the universe, becoming enlightened, or whatever other name you want to call it – the spiritual goal of mankind. In the New Testament, when Jesus was crucified, the veil of the Temple was ripped in two. This symbolized the opening of access to G-d by everyone, not just the high priest.
