An excerpt from my blog post on the Hierophant:
For this pendant’s imagery I chose the five-petaled flower-star. It is a reference to this trump’s numerical order as the 5th numbered card in the major arcana, as well as to the cycles of Venus (which you can learn more about here, at Pallas’ site). The 5 points on the star are also a reference to Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and the idea that underlying the beauty of nature is an inherent order in all things. You can also see the star-man on the chest of the Thoth Hierophant, pictured above.
In Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollack says of the keys, “In the BOTA version of the Hierophant … the crossed keys at the Hierophant’s feet are gold and silver, representing the outer and inner ways, the sun and moon, the Magician and the High Priestess, which the doctrine teaches us to combine. In the Rider pack both keys are gold, indicating that the dark side is hidden from those who follow the outer doctrine.” My keys are consistent effort and stubborn desire.
On the reverse of the pendant is the triple cross and three interlocking circles, “emblematic of the idea of the triad”(Pollack, 2007). Recall, if you will, the Hierophant and his two acolytes in the temple. Also, throw in a little Hermes “thrice-crowned” Trismegistus for good measure. Maybe sprinkle a little Christian Holy Trinity if you so wish…
