The Path of the Wanderer
Those who walk the path of witchcraft often find themselves as the Wanderer. It is in periods of solitude that we hear the whispers from the ether, that we gain new inspiration and insight. The wanderer walks the night roads alone, attended only by familiars who reveal hidden knowledge to him. He carries the light of knowledge that guides him. Alone, surrounded by Darkness, he discovers who he truly is—absolved of external influences and distractions. His gaze is fixed on the path before him rather than on the distance, appreciating the journey, not the destination.
Divinatory Meaning
Invoking the Wanderer indicates a deep need to disconnect from routine. You have a need to draw your energy inward and rediscover who you are, what your truth is. Cast off the mundane world and begin a journey that leads to self-revelation, a renewal of the spiritual, and a confrontation with the Shadow Self. This can be a physical trip to some secluded place in nature. This trip is best done alone or with one or two others who will appreciate the spiritual nature of it. You may find yourself at a crossroads, not sure how to proceed. Take a moment, enter a trance-like meditative state, and speak to your inner self, listen to the first instinct revealed to you, and that is your direction. The Wanderer is your inner mentor who teaches you to discover your own path and to answer your own questions.
The Wanderer Banished
The Wanderer banished signals not enough focus on the spiritual self. You need to take more time of contemplation and meditation. You are far too connected to the mundane world and it is interfering with your spiritual development. It can also indicate that you are taking solitude to a destructive level, resulting in loneliness, depression, and withdrawal from friends and family. A respect for boundaries is necessary. You may find yourself or someone close to you needs time alone, and that should be respected. Once that time has passed you can re-enter the relationship renewed.
