The High Priestess

The Receptive and The High Priestess occupy the same position in their respective systems — the feminine principle that receives, contains, and reveals hidden knowledge. But there is a nuance: Hex 2 is pure receptivity (six yin lines, no resistance), while the Priestess sits between two pillars (Boaz and Jachin, severity and mercy). She is receptive but selective. Hex 20 (Contemplation) may be closer — the wind over the earth, seeing from a tower. The Priestess observes from between. ~~Originally mapped to Hex 2 only~~ The pairing with Hex 20 is stronger.
