The Teacher acts as the masculine opposite of The Oracle. He sits within a temple, wearing three robes and a three tiered crown atop his head, both signifying his attachment to conscious, subconscious, and the superconscious that form our perceptions of the world. He holds a paw up to point to The Upperlands and In his other paw he holds a staff with the sigil of The Giraffe, a sign of his foresight as well as his position as a guide to others. At his feet lie two keys which are symbolic of the opening and closing of one’s mind and senses. Before him Kneel two young mice eager to learn, baring the importance of passing on wisdom to future generations.
