Upright: This woman is a spiritual badass! Although curtains represent secrets in tarot, there are no secrets between her and the spiritual world. The veil is actually there for others because only those who are worthy will be able to understand what separates the conscious and subconscious realms. The two pillars Boaz, pillar of strength, and Jachin, pillar of establishment depict opposites such as masculine and feminine, good and evil, negative and positive. She sits between them because she embodies both. She is all-knowing and has reached enlightenment. She believes in both God, shown by the cross necklace and the scroll with Tora (which are sacred scrolls used for prayer), and the Universe, shown by her crown of Isis (the Egyptian Goddess of motherhood, rebirth, and death), with waxing, waning, and full moons on it. This card urges you to pay attention to your intuition as well.

Reversed: You are spiritually gifted as well, but you aren’t owning it. You hide that side of you, or maybe even deny it. Maybe you are afraid of how others will judge you, or maybe you are afraid of what you will open up if you tap into that side. There is nothing to fear though, because what you are opening up is gifts of unlimited positive potential.
