Sep 29 - Tarot Characters: High Priestess

🃏 The High Priestess is the keeper of secrets and forbidden knowledge. She's a teacher, a mentor, and occasionally the giver of really annoying riddles. Here are three characters who capture different sides of this card:

---

Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta (Magnum P.I.)

'Kumu' is a Hawaiian word meaning 'teacher', and Kumu absolutely embodies it on Magnum PI. Employed by Robin Masters as the cultural keeper of Robin's Nest, Kumu is the link to Hawaiian history and tradition. She wears her history proudly and shares it generously when anyone has genuine interest.

High Priestess Vibes:

• preserves and shares knowledge
• understands the importance of history and tradition
• knows when there's more to a story than first appears

---

Herne the Hunter (Robin of Sherwood)

This version of Herne remained mysterious throughout the series. He claimed to be a man occasionally possessed by the spirit of Herne, a forest god worshipped by the local Saxons. As a mentor, he favoured the riddle style of teaching, training both Robins to look beyond the obvious and see what was hidden. Whatever his origin, he clearly possessed esoteric knowledge beyond the understanding of ordinary men.

High Priestess Vibes:

• teaches by encouraging others to look beneath the surface
• keeps knowledge that cannot easily be explained
• embraces mystery rather than trying to resolve it

Cat Grant (Supergirl TV series)

You're thinking 'but she's modern! She's snappy! She can't even remember people's names!' She actually can, she just doesn't bother. But Cat - in this incarnation - is sharp and insightful, seeing through secrets and dissecting personalities in one glance. She pushes people to be the best version of themselves, refusing to let them rest on their laurels. She knows what's hidden and brings it into the light.

High Priestess Vibes:

• sees what others miss
• recognises potential before people see it themselves
• knows when to reveal a secret and when to keep it
