Here’s a bit of Tarot fun featuring The Hierophant…

When I am preparing my Tarot blog posts, my thoughts become fixated on the card I’m writing about. I look for corresponding images I might be able to include in articles, and I keep my eyes and ears open for quotes, poems, and passages of literature that might help me express my point of view about a card’s meanings.

While thinking about a post focused on The Hierophant, I heard a song on the radio featuring a banjo. It occurred to me that the joyful, playful sound of the banjo was the direct opposite of The Hierophant’s serious demeanour. I remember saying to myself, “I can’t imagine The Hierophant plucking a banjo in his spare time.” Then I realised his pose was perfect for banjo playing. He even looks like he’s just finished playing a foot-stomping tune and he’s raising one hand to thank the audience (of two) who are cheering him on.

With a bit of Photoshop artwork I created a bizarre and whimsical image of The Hierophant that I had to share with you. I hope you find it amusing too.
