The Hierophant in A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages

The Hierophant tarot card represents righteousness, sacredness, and hierarchical order. In A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, this is represented by a haiku and a poem.

The haiku, which begins with the line “it’s traditional,” is a bit of a protest against the hierarchical order and righteousness of this particular card, rendered in very few words. The poem, “The Banister,” has some aspects the hierarchical order, lodging a protest against the traditional patriarchal domination of power and authority, and slipping in an environmental vibe as well.

Both of these poems are exclusive to A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, where they sit alongside other poems and stories reflecting each of the Major Arcana of the tarot!
