The Hierophant is the fifth major arcana card. He is the male equivalent to the High Priestess. He is seen in a red robe and a triple crown showing him to be powerful. He is a traditional religious symbol as you can by the crosses on his robe. He is similar to the magician except he uses his power through religion and society. He represents an entry into a group or organization. When the hierophant appears in a spread it is a call to stay within the already acceptable way of doing things as this card represents tradition. It could also indicate a desire to join or fit into a group setting. The hierophant is a wise guide for others so you may be dealing with a wise person in your life who is helping to guide you. If the card is reversed however, it may reflect a need to get away from the restrictions of an orthodox society and break free.
