Drawing The High Priestess Card And The Devil Tarot Cards Together | What Do They Mean When Together? | A Complete Guide

A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.

However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.

As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The High Priestess card and The Devil card together in particular.

The The High Priestess card and The Devil have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

What does The High Priestess and The Devil mean together?

The High Priestess and The Devil tarot cards suggest that you have some hidden secrets or hidden knowledge that you need to trust yourself with. The Devil tarot card also indicates that you may be struggling with some addictions, greed, envy, or other materialistic obsessions. However, The High Priestess tarot card suggests that you have the intuition and trust in yourself to overcome these challenges. If you can listen to your intuition and trust your own inner wisdom, you will be able to overcome any obstacles in your way.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

• The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
• The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Both The High Priestess and The Devil mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw The High Priestess and The Devil the answer to your question is “NO”.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does The High Priestess mean?

The High Priestess Tarot card is a reminder that we all have intuition and that we should trust ourselves. We all have secrets and things we keep hidden from others, but The High Priestess knows all. This card is a reminder to be open and honest with ourselves and others. This is also a time to reconnect with our spiritual side.

The Devil can indicate financial problems, as well as difficulties in relationships. In health, The Devil can represent problems with addiction, as well as mental and emotional health issues.

Conclusion

Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The High Priestess and The Devil has helped you.
