The Hermit
The Hermit symbolizes withdrawal for inner reflection and the pursuit of spiritual insight gained away from society. It represents a period of meditation, study, and peaceful solitude that leads to recovery and eventual enlightenment to be shared. Upright, the card encourages introspection, deliberate isolation, and thoughtful contemplation as a path to clarity. Reversed, it cautions against exile, excessive reclusiveness, and feelings of loneliness or unhealthy retreat.

Visual Description
A hunched, elderly figure with gray skin and a long white beard stands on a snowy rock, wearing a tattered orange cloak and gripping a crooked wooden staff. He raises two fingers of his other hand toward a small radiant glow that appears like a star, while the night sky shows scattered stars, a crescent moon, and distant snow‑capped mountains. The card carries the Roman numeral IX at the top and the title "THE HERMIT" at the bottom.
