Synopsis
A time for soul searching and meditation;
a need for patience and solitude. General
Description
The Hermit is the card of seclusion
and turning within. It characterizes an introverted phase
in life, during which we shield ourselves from outside influences.
We find repose and, above all, are separate from bustling
activity and crowds of people. The Hermit therefore stands
for an important experience within, through which we can perceive
who we are, what we want, and how we can get there. He unites
two valuable extremes: the depth of experience and the heights
of perception. This card is often wrongly feared by many people.
It is only when its qualities are misunderstood that fears
of loneliness and abandonment arise. The person who follows
the call of the Hermit willingly will find enrichment through
clarity, strength, and the joyful experience of being able
to be alone with himself.
