Musickal Meditations - Channeling The High Priestess

Last week I shared a new collaborative project I’ve been working on with my partner Tim and my dad, combining tarot and meditation. The purpose of the tracks we are creating is to bring the listener into alignment with the Major Arcana card they are wishing to focus upon. Last week we shared our piece for The Magician, and today we bring you The High Priestess!

While you may opt to simply enjoy the track on its own, we have also provided some suggestions should you want to incorporate it into a fuller ritual. We do hope you enjoy the sounds! We will be updating the YouTube page regularly as we add more tracks. Feel free to follow along - we’ll likely use the space for other content as well. I also plan on storing all meditations on a separate page of this site, so they are easy to find! Keep reading to learn more about connecting with The High Priestess.

Meditation Package - The High Priestess in G Sharp

Background: The purpose of these meditations is to allow you space to connect with the 22 Major Arcana, which are, in many ways, separated aspects of ourselves. Each element of this project has been carefully considered, from the note selection to the length of the track to the written piece which accompanies it. The intention is to supply the user of the track with the musical essence of the Major Arcana in question to help them get in touch with their own inner archetype of that nature. We envision that one may use this as part of a regular meditative practice, to open up a card reading session, before or during ritual, or as a way to simply connect more with their deck.

Description for The Magician: The High Priestess holds the secret scrolls and empowers those who evoke this energy to tap into this resource. Of course, the insight it contains does not exist out there, but rather within. On it is written all our personal memories, collective histories, and subconscious drives. Connecting with this cosmic substance will not only enhance one’s natural intuition but will allow one to see the threads that link even the most seemingly mundane events. The High Priestess is therefore not a gatekeeper to secret information, but the root of all things. This meditation invites you deep within those mysteries of the universe and the self.

Reflect on the following passage below, designed to further set the stage before you begin:

I am but a drop
In the Great Ocean,
& yet I am the Ocean itself;

The Waters of Life
Flow from the seams
Of my robe into the
Minds & Hearts of All.

I am the Root of all Consciousness,
Which lieth beyond the Veil of Matter;

Though I open the eyes,
I cannot be seen...

Though I speak to the heart,
I cannot be heard...

& though I am Knowledge itself,
I cannot be known or defined;

I am the Mystery
Behind all mysteries —
The unspoken riddle
That cannot be solved  —

The Sound in the Silence —

The Timeless,

The Law.
