The Hermit
The Hermit represents the wisdom found in solitude and deep contemplation. Like the scholarly badgers who choose isolation to pursue knowledge, this card suggests a time for introspection and learning away from external distractions. The Hermit offers guidance to those genuinely seeking wisdom, but only when approached with sincere curiosity and readiness to learn. This card advises finding dedicated time and space for self-communion, controlling social interactions, and focusing deeply on current tasks without outside interference.
Keywords
The Scholar's Solitude
Most badgers are very sociable creatures, but there are some among them who prefer to live in solitude. They are the scholars and philosophers of the forest, which requires deep immersion. Complete understanding needs time and solitude. The Hermit rarely receives visitors, so his dwelling is arranged for his own comfort—he has one chair, one glass, and a small hearth as a source of warmth and backdrop for contemplation.
Seeking Wisdom
You can approach him for advice (if he's in the mood), but he doesn't give counsel without being asked. He doesn't tolerate gossip. If you are curious and truly want to learn, you will find the path to his door. When you are ready to fully immerse yourself in knowledge, his door will open for you.
The Path of Focus
The Hermit has chosen a solitary life so as not to be distracted by daily concerns. He is accustomed to handling his affairs in order, giving his full attention to the current task. He advises you to do exactly the same. Find time and a place that you can dedicate to communion with yourself without outside interference. Control your communication with outsiders, don't let anyone bother you.
Brief Meaning
Solitude. Preferring home to society. Learning. Perspective. Time to deepen your knowledge.
If You Look Closely
The badger received the armillary sphere as a gift from the Magician, who has a similar one, and who noticed the admiring glances of his hermit friend during his rare visits.
