Thoughts on The Hermit


The Hermit

A character not celebrated in todays modern society.
Someone who practices meditation, self reflection - the art of learning through solitude and silence. Think of your common idea of a hermit...one thing above all else that you might think of, intelligence is one thing that stands out as an attribute. The Hermit has knowledge, a type of quiet wisdom one can only teach oneself. 
In the tarot The Hermit card represents the need to withdraw (why this illustration on the The Wild Unknown tarot is so poignant) with the promise that you will emerge back into the modern day world shining brighter. Bringing a newfound light to others, as they bask in your spiritual glow.

The Hermits secrets are not for everyone, only those willing to climb to the highest peak, or reach into the darkest cave.
All the answers you need are within.
The Hermit comes at a time when you begin to question what we are told is normality, when you begin to believe that there is more to the meaning of life than the mundane 9 to 5.

There is a hermit in all of us...some of us tap into his spirit regularly, others have yet to find him, hiding away, scribbling questions in the depth of your soul. He's that nagging voice you sometimes here that tells you to step back, to renegotiate the cards life has dealt you.
