The Hermit
The Hermit is a seeker for knowledge that comes from within. A lonely traveller through the mountains, they search for that which can only be gained with long periods of solitude - the inner voice.
In the tarot, the Hermit stands alone on the top of a mountain. The range symbolizes spiritual mastery, growth, and accomplishment. In their right hand, they hold a lantern with a six-pointed star inside, a symbol of wisdom. In their left, they hold a staff, a symbol of power. As The Hermit walks the path, the lamp will light the way – but can only illuminate one step at a time, rather than the full journey.
The Hermit invites you to retreat into seclusion and introspection. When you allow yourself to tune in to your inner, guiding light, you will hear the answers you need to find your light, shine it and create your unique path. You will see what lies ahead of you – not miles upon miles, but enough to know where to step next.
You are the Hermit! Shiningly, brilliantly yourself. And your destination is your home…. your self.
