2021 Niue Tarot Card: The Hierophant 1 oz .999 Silver Coin (2,000 Mintage)

Description

The Hierophant is the sixth coin in our wildly popular Tarot Card Collection. The card is numbered Five in the emblematic Tarot cards known as the Major Arcana. The Hierophant is the male counterpart to the High Priestess. While he also deals with the spiritual realm and the subconscious, his path is one of tradition, structure, and rules.
The Hierophant encourages you to explore your spiritual or religious ideas or simply enjoy being surrounded by people who have well-established belief systems and explicit values. This card is about exploring other ways of thinking that will prompt further learning, ultimately leading you to uncover your personal truths.
In his left hand, the Hierophant holds the Papal Cross, a triple sceptre that denotes his religious status. He raises his right hand in a religious blessing, with two fingers pointing towards Heaven, signifying the physical and spiritual planes. While the Hierophant undoubtedly has religious overtones, the card also represents the benefits and detriments of any cultural or social institutions in our lives.
In reverse, the Hierophant can indicate dogma or closed-mindedness to other’s viewpoints or warns against acting on unsuitable advice. He reminds you that you are your own teacher and don’t need to accept rigid structures and traditions. The card gives you permission to trust your inner guidance system and create your own path or stay connected to your core values and beliefs, so you won’t be led astray.
