This card is used in game playing as well as in divination . In the first Tarot pack with inscriptions, the 18th - century woodcut Marseilles Tarot, this figure is crowned with the Papal tiara and labelled La Papesse, the Popess, a possible reference to the legend of Pope Joan . Another theory is the card simply represents the Holy Mother Church in an allegorical form already familiar to Italian Catholics of the 1600s . </P>
