The High Priestess’ color is yellow. She provides warmth, tranquility and life-giving energy and her language is Sanskrit. The fool’s color is blue and his language is English. He is pictured walking off a cliff, but he knows that he will not fall because he can fly. He represents imagination and creativity.
