Major Arcana

# The Hierophant

Guru (गुरु)

Spiritual Teacher, Dispeller of Darkness

The Hierophant. Living transmission flows through lineage—you stand in the Guru-Shishya chain, receiving the Teaching through embodied presence, not merely words. True spiritual education requires a teacher who has walked the path. Open yourself to guidance while remaining present to your own experience. The five paths converge here: body, mind, feeling integrated through conscious relationship with tradition.
