Thank you for this, Sarah! The Hierophant is my soul/life card, or whatever you call it, and I'm always interested in hearing interpretations of it. In fact I know I heard you discuss on a podcast once and that was immensely helpful, but this was even more so. Thank you.
Happy New Year! I've been following you for a while now and am so excited that you're on SubStack now. Moonbeaming and your courses have taught me so much. This year I was able to get a copy of Many Moons and am so excited to use it. I was too late last year when I discovered you.
I have a question, if you have time to answer. I know you've talked about teacher cards for a while, and I am at a loss for how to find out what the teacher card is for any particular Major Arcana card. I've tried searching past episodes and your site, but the searches haven't really been successful. How are they determined?
Sheri - I believe it is the higher "number" of that card - like Temperance (14) is the teacher card for The Hierophant because 14 (1+4) reduces to 5. Also, I think Mary Greer discusses all of this in her book Archetypal Tarot, which I have but have not yet read!

Jennifer,
Thank you Jennifer! That helps a lot. I’ll check out the book, too. I always love learning other points of view on meaning and such in tarot.
Thanks again!
Sheri
You're welcome! Me too!
