The Hermit - The Light of the Journey
The Fool is now the wise old man who lives in a hermitage atop a high mountain. He has gained this lofty position by passing through all the previous stages. At this stage, he has renounced his rule of the empire and gone beyond the concept of justice and the need for strict self control.
Climb the mountain and seek wisdom and peace. Withdraw from your regular activities and socializing. Give yourself time to assimilate past experiences. Let the light of the Lamp of Knowledge illuminate your heart and mind. Do whatever is necessary so that you are in a space where you can seek the answers to the question of your life’s purpose. Some people are natural introverts. This is not a fault or problem that needs correction. Honor the introvert and discover his strengths.
Spend some time out in nature or in solitude. Listen to silence. Slow down and be observant of the universe’s natural cycles. Honor your own natural bodily and mental cycles. Disconnect. Retreat. Do some candle or crystal gazing.
Reversed Meaning
Something blocks your retreat.
The Lamp of Knowledge is burning you.
Your are going in the wrong direction, looking in the wrong place for what you seek.
Withdraw from some things, but not everything.
The Hermit’s appearance in a spread
You have the power to light your own path. You don’t need the help or guidance of others. Their path is not yours. You must discover your very own unique path to wisdom.
Hermit Exercise
Confirmation Cards
A very useful tool in reading the tarot is the selection of confirmation cards. This is the practice of exploring possible answers to your question before shuffling the deck and drawing the cards.
Example
Thinking about what you need to get done today and asking the tarot which things to concentrate on, make a list. Perhaps you need to get some physical exercise, do your regular job, and put some effort into your sideline business or hobby. You may also want to spend some time in meditation, gardening, and household chores. Cards that describe these activities are, respectively: The Chariot, 3 of Coins, the Star, The Hermit, The Empress, and 7 of Coins. If any of these cards appear, you have instant confirmation.
Question: What activities are best for me to focus on today?
Shuffle the deck and choose as many cards as you have options in descending order of importance. The first card is the most important thing for you to focus on today, the last card, the least important. If none of your confirmation cards appear, open your mind to new ideas.
Using the Hermit to change your life
Manifest the Hermit
To allow yourself to withdraw from your normal activities.
Banish the Hermit
To end an extended period of introspection or loneliness.
