Good catch. The tarot Heirophant-Prince and Prince the religionist. The religious order to which the entertainer belongs is also a body of corporate augurs, The Watchtower Society, and patterned after the Catholic model.
C.T.Russell's original depiction of a 'watchtower' that decked the cover of his Rainbow-Rosicrucian gazette of the same name was tarot card 22. It was the tarot tower and resembled a lighthouse with ocean waves crashing around its foundations, not the upper portion of a middle eastern castle turret as depicted on the modern magazine.
The tarot tower, of course, alludes to the Tower of Babylon. But the real kicker is that the builders of the Tower of Babylon were attempting to recreate the pre-Flood cosmic tower. Destruction appears to be the underlying theme...the original pre-Flood tower collapsed during an episode of cosmic chaos; the post-Flood Tower of Babylon was electrically burned and likely partially sunk when the crust liquified during a flyby of Nebheru, or Mercury, when it was a comet.
The corporate institutions of Roman Univeralism(Catholicism) and the Watchtower appear as gnostic instruments of The Magi and patterned upon the 2nd century BC corporate Augury which the Caesars and The Senate consulted for omens prior to any political or military decisions.

: So, considering all of the above, I found the following very
: interesting as well.
: the following is a Tarot card that is a modern day spin off of
: an older more well known tarot card called The Hierophant,
: which is traditionally called *THE POPE*.
:
: Here is the explanation from the maker of the card....
: ....The Hierophant is a card from the classic Rider-Waite
: Tarot deck, also sometimes called The High Priest, or more
: historically The Pope. I chose Prince for this card for a
: variety of reasons. First is that he has a song called
: “Pope,” the chorus of which is “u can be the
: president, I’d rather be the pope“. Second, part of the
: real Pope’s official title is “Prince of the
: Apostles.”
: His divine symbol is a union of male/female symbols - here we
: see it affixed to the papal crucifix, reminding us of
: Christ’s coming reserection. He wears the papal mitre,
: and rides the traditional purple papal motorcycle. As the
: keeper of sacred mysteries, he also holds Janus/St.
: Peter’s keys to heaven. As in the traditional tarot deck,
: at his feet are the two initiates.
: A vivifying purple rain falls from on high. Further off in the
: distance is St. Peter’s Basilica glows at night. This
: photo is taken from fringe media sources, and supposedly
: indicates a UFO which was witnessed during Pope John Paul
: II’s funeral.
: **********************
: Ok, not that I take the above seriously as the tarot is not
: something that I practice. The tarot is however important
: to many people in high positions that are making decisions
: about things that affect your life everyday and therefore
: its symbolism can be useful to our discussions of their
: thinking and plans.
: I just found it highly interesting in light of the journey
: that we have taken to get to this point ... the super bowl,
: halftime, Prince, the doves, purple rain, the pope, purple
: smoke, etc... that there happens to be a tarot card
: anywhere on earth that portrays PRINCE as a PURPLE POPE!
