"Offer thyself Virgin to the knowledge and conversation of thine Holy Guardian Angel. All else is a snare. Be thou athlete with the eight arms of Yoga: for without these thou art not disciplined for any fight" - Aleister Crowley

Colour: light blue
Herb: frankincense
Astrology: Taurus
Hebrew: Vav (pin or hook, value is 6) is the archetype of fertilising substances. It is the image of a knot which unites, or the point which seperates nothingness and being. The Son. It is the universal, convertible glyph which makes things pass from one nature to another. The ear; all that is realted to sound and wind.
Rune: Mannaz (mankind) Humaness (pluses and minues), nobility, power of spirit, awareness, social order, intellectual power, Interdependance, results, relationships.
Analysis:-
The Heirophant has united all 4 elements (air, earth, fire and water) within himself as he is the awakened one, enlightened, spiritual master. This is prevelant in the 4 cherubim guarding the altar. The Bull (Taurus) is the element of Earth of matter or physical plain, the Lion (Leo) is Fire the capacity of intuition, willpower and dynamics, the Human is Air (Aquarius) mental/spiritual, the Eagle is Water (Scorpio) that of emotions. This is further attached to the 4 suits of the Minor Arcanum.
Venus ( the ruler of Taurus) stands before him holding the symbols of emotion and wisdom. The Hierophant has united the feminine within himself.
With the unification of the male and female is born Horus. Note he is naked and exposed, full of trust, this represents true wisdom.
The 5 petaled white rose behind his head represents pure, unconditional love. The type of love which recognises what the other needs, even if it is not necessarily what the other wants.
The serpent touched by the 9 nails at the top represent the true pain one can only go through in order to reach this level of transformation. True transformation can only happen in a state of receptiveness and sensitivity. A trust in the Divine.
The darkness of the card displays the purpose of the Hierophant who brings light into the consciousness.
