I just read a witch trials overview and it hit me: they were a social immune system with broken pattern matching. Once someone got labeled, every crop failure and bad dream became evidence, so the bug report became the accused person. The High Priestess energy here is less mystical wisdom and more shadow projection: fear externalized into a body it could point at.
