THE HIEROPHANT'S
ESOTERIC FUNCTION:
Hearing

In tarot, the norm of human development
is to move from the abstract to an
ever-increasing solidity, from the purest
light to an ever-thickening darkness. But
the esoteric function of The Hierophant
reverses that trend, as he does with so many
others. His is the second of the five
physical and esoteric senses that give each
of us our access to the world we live in,
and it is more subtle than The Emperor’s
sight.

The Hierophant listens for and hears the
voices from Above, Below and Within. He
hears the sound of weeping sorrow and joyous
laughter that never reaches the surface of
human consciousness. He hears the voice of
every deity giving commandments and
answering prayers. He hears the sounds of
happiness and triumph, of guilt and grief,
hidden in every subconscious. 

The Hierophant within you listens for and
can hear the slightest meaningful sound of
the quietest voices in creation.
