The Priestess is the incarnation of the lady Pope. She bears the number 2 which in the numerology of the Tarot represents accumulation. Sitting in gestation, she is a symbol of purity. She is the part of us that has never been hurt-virginal, and unexploited. She is the source of substantial energy that the next card, The Empress will blast in all directions.

Some still consider the existence of a female Pope during the dark ages. Pope Joan is said to have disguised herself as a man and risen to the highest office of the church, only to be discovered when she became pregnant, giving birth on the steps of the Vatican.
