THE HIEROPHANT

The Hierophant image depicts Chiron, the King of the Centaurs, a race of creatures who are half man and half horse. The Hierophant is an image of the quest for spiritual satisfaction and meaning in life. His quest for greater understanding of the inner world is more direct and straightforward than that of the mysterious High Priestess, whose elusive. World is not penetrable by the intellect alone. The Hierophant's energy is masculine, outgoing and assertive, like his earthly counterpart, the Emperor. The Emperor and the Empress make up the earthly parents of the conscious mind and material world, while the Hierophant and the High Priestess symbolise the spiritual parents of the unconscious inner world. The union of the earthly Emperor and Empress brings forth a physical child; the union of the celestial Hierophant and High Priestess produces the spiritual one. The combination of masculine and feminine produces a third entity. This process occurs within the psyche as well as literally.

The Hierophant is the spiritual teacher who seeks to find a connection between the world of men and that of the gods. He is a bridge builder, forging the link between our material and spiritual worlds. Thus the ancient word 'pontifex', or maker of bridges, was used to designate a priest. Chiron is not an orthodox priest, however, and does not represent orthodox religions. He lived in a cave, not a temple, and his instruction on spiritual understanding does not consist of dogma, but rather of bringing each individual pupil to his own encounter with the divine. As you consider the image of the centaur Chiron and begin your colouring exercise, think about your attitudes towards religion, orthodox or otherwise. What does God mean to you, if anything? It is helpful to reflect upon your spiritual upbringing or lack of it, and to allow yourself to ponder its validity or lack thereof Try to determine which of the values instilled in you by background or upbringing are truly appropriate for you. Unlike the High Priestess, the Hierophant offers many alternatives and choices which can be considered on an intellectual as well as spiritual level. In other words, the Priestess' realm is one of dream, fantasy and intuition, which cannot be clearly perceived by the conscious mind. The Hierophant, in contrast, is accessible through word, book, lecture or service. The options open to us are set out more lucidly and we can thus begin to formulate our own personal philosophy.

As you colour the Hierophant's image notice how your choice of colours reflect

your own thoughts about spirituality. Choose a key colour which can sum up the essence of the Hierophant for you. When you embark on your guided fantasy exercise imagine yourself to be with him in his cave. Start your conversation with he Hierophant. What does he say to you? As always record your thoughts and impressions when you have finished the exercise.



神话参考：凯龙

卦意：需要精神引领，寻求个人哲学，或精神价值。

圣哲【教皇】

圣哲的卡片描绘了半人马之王凯龙。
象征着追求精神饱足和探寻人生的哲思
圣哲对精神世界的追求比神秘沉静的女祭司更直接，坦率，后者相比更加难以捉摸。
世间万物不仅仅是智力所能渗透的。
圣哲的能量和帝王相似，也是阳刚，外向的和自信的
但不同的是，圣哲属灵 而帝王属于尘世
皇帝和皇后就好比构成了我们有意识的心灵和物质世界的世俗父母
而圣哲和女祭司则象征着我们无意识的内心世界的精神父母
皇帝和皇后在尘世间结合 造出了一个健壮的娃
天国的圣哲和女祭司的结合为我们的心神种下灵知

阴阳相融产生第三个实体
这个过程发生在心灵内部

圣哲是一位寻求在人类世界与众神之间建立联系的灵性导师。
他是建设者，在我们的物质世界和精神世界之间建立桥梁。
因此，在古代桥梁制造者是祭祀【牧师】的指定用语。
但凯龙却不是一个正统的祭祀，也不代表任何大成宗教。
他住在山洞而不是寺庙，
他指导学生探寻真理不靠教条，而是让每个学生都与神圣相遇。

当您考虑半人马凯龙的形象并开始着色练习时，请仔细斟酌您对宗教，正统性或其他方面的态度。
上帝对你意味着什么？宗教又意味着什么？
它会点亮你的内心 变成你精神成长的助力 ？
还是会锁住你对灵性的直觉 把你困在世俗的道德约束中？

试着去判断 那些通过生活背景和教育体制潜移默化灌输给你的价值观，是否真的适合自己
与女祭司不同，圣哲提供了许多选择，它们就像一座座形态各异的桥 目的都是把你渡向灵性觉醒的高阶。
换句话说，女祭司掌管的领域是梦境，幻想和直觉，意识清醒的头脑往往无法清楚地参透她隐晦的暗示。
相比，圣哲的启迪是可以通过文字，书籍，讲座或服务传授的。
当这些选择清晰的呈现在我们面前，
探寻的途中
我们的眼界就能逐渐明晰 直到建立一套适合自己的个人哲学观。

当您为圣哲的图像着色时，请注意您选择的颜色如何反映你自己对灵性的看法。
选择关键颜色，总结您心中圣哲的精髓。
当你开始幻想引导训练时

想象自己在凯龙的洞穴中和他一起。
与这位圆融的智者展开对话。
他对你说什么？

在完成练习后，记录您的想法和印象。
