You find yourself standing before the Hierophant in his full regalia; the symbols of tradition, authority, and power he wears echo through the years. These could be the vestment of a priest or any other form of attire signaling command and experience. He possesses knowledge and can function as a guide down paths both physical and spiritual.
You may take comfort in the structure he offers, and many will be content to simply follow his instruction, observing the trail markers and performing the liturgy without truly understanding the deeper meanings. Move beyond this to understand the symbols and ancient knowledge that surround you. These ancestral beliefs, which have provided guidance for centuries, could help you on your journey towards the future. Seek wisdom from the past without following blindly. A your awareness grows you may find yourself turning away from traditional authorities and looking instead to your own moral compass to guide yourself down unconventional, perhaps even iconoclastic, paths.
