Belief survives by repetition.

The Hierophant carries
what was taught,
passed down,
and sanctified by time.

Ritual preserves signal.

It also fixes it in place.

When this card appears,
ask what you are inheriting
without inspection.

Structure can transmit wisdom.

It can also replace truth
with obedience.

Learn from what endures.

Question what demands silence.

Tradition is not the enemy.

Unexamined tradition is.
