The Hermit
Standing alone atop a snow-capped mountain peek, an old man in a gray cloak holds high a single lantern containing a six-pointed star—the Star of David, representing spiritual truth. He uses a staff to steady his steps.
The Hermit does not seek external knowledge; he has become the beacon itself, lighting the path for other seekers who are brave enough to make the lonely climb toward enlightenment.
Upright
The Hermit steps away from the distractions of the material collective to seek the eternal truths of the soul. Upright, it demands a period of quiet reflection, meditation, and self-examination away from social pressures.
Reversed
Reversed, the Hermit warns that constructive solitude has morphed into toxic isolation or stubborn withdrawal. It indicates that you may be refusing wise counsel or losing yourself in your own eccentricities and fears.
