Hierophant
The Hierophant represents religious tradition, order, rules and orthodox dogma. The Hierophant is a representative of God on earth, and therefore must follow certain rules and standards that people have come to expect. He is a conformist and a traditionalist, upholding religious standards, ritual and ceremony. He is wise and learned and it is his duty to uphold and pass on ancient beliefs.The Hierophant is depicted as a religious leader, much like the Pope of the Catholic church, however, the medallion behind him contains symbols from many different organized religions throughout the world. The Hierophant holds up the first two fingers of his right hand in a blessing as a candle burns to his right with the symbol of Universal beliefs. A triple cross staff, traditionally used by the Pope, sits to his left, symbolizing the trinity used in so many religions. Crossed keys on the Hierophant's mitre symbolize the unlocking of wisdom and higher truths.
