#2 THE HIGH PRIESTESS

Symbolism:
The Black Madonna of Altötting in her shrine, Gabriel's OTHER at the time of the events in Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within.
Traditional Interpretation:
Upright: The card of "protection"; strong intuition; happyness; fantasy; wisdom; a helping force from the subconsciousness.
Upsidedown: Egoism; superficiality.
Message:
The hidden female power, withdrawing from knowledge.
The inscription on the column of ISIS in Saïs says: "I am everything that was, that is and that shall be. Never shall a man know what is hidden behind my veil."
Many proclaim and honnor the devine power, but only by the woman, the power can be incarnated.
