The Hierophant

Card V — the encounter with tradition. After building personal structure, the Fool discovers that others have built structures too. The question becomes: what do you inherit, and what do you question?
The Narrative
He sits between two pillars (again — echoing the Priestess, but publicly), one hand raised in blessing, the other holding a triple cross. Two acolytes kneel before him. The Hierophant is the bridge between sacred knowledge and the community that needs it. He is the teacher, the institution, the lineage.
