In Tarot, the High Priestess card represents sexuality, intrigue, and general higher authority. This card's primary symbols are blue, white, and black, pomegranates, an Isis moon crown. Other symbols include veil, solar cross, crescent moon, and pillars. The "B" stands for Boaz, which means denial and severity. The letter "J" stands for Jachin, which means "beginning" and "mercy." The scroll is written with the word "Tora," which could be a reference to the Jewish Torah or an anagram of Tarot, with the final letter hidden.
