II: The High Priestess

 

The Salic Law, a woman enslaved on a pedestal, dressed up in finery but no more than a figurehead, a pretense. less than human. Note that the only two lower ranked trumps are Zero: The Fool and 1: The Magician both of whom are very young men. This priestess is so "High" that she is of lower status than all except two male adolescents. Note also that the word "Husband" applies equally to two legged and four legged livestock.

Reversed:
Never an end to the debasement of half of humanity, generations of ceaseless toil.
