Tarot of the Ages- Hierophant
Art by Mario Garizio
Published by US Games Systems

The Hierophant sits looking high up. His face a blue mask. A star hovering over his head. Two men kneel at his feet facing each other not him. They seem oblivious to him. By each side f him, sits a sarcophougus (I have no idea how to spell!)

He is detached, maybe he IS in touch with the divine, but I don't get the feeling he would be able to impart this wisdom to others - he is too detached. The enlightened must remain grounded in reality if others are to learn from them.

From the LWB:
In the Hierophant's heart is the seat of his strength. Swift and fierce as the claw of the leopard, he fulfills his true will.

Master of the law, high priest of the unique temple, he comes forever among humanity to propogate the doctrine and celebrate the ceremony
