The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

I currently DVR 5 shows: Good Eats, Ace of Cakes, Iron Chef America, The Next Food Network Star, and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. I have watched in the past: British comedies, sketch shows, Adult Swim cartoons, and pretty much anything clever.
Christopher Moore, Douglas Adams, Anthony Bourdain, Alton Brown's cook/textbooks, food magazines, the occasional comic/graphic novel (I like Constantine), short sci-fi and horror stories, books of weird trivia...and I do a lot of crossword puzzles. Incidentally, I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar. Alton Brown: Mixing food, science, and theatre...three of my favorite things. Anthony Bourdain: Doing everything I want to do...traveling, eating, and writing.
