Card 9

The Hermit

Brief Description

The Hermit signals a period of withdrawal and inward reflection, inviting you to take a break from external restlessness and examine the path you have already walked. It emphasizes solitude, meditation, curiosity, and gradual inner growth as means to learn lessons from past experience. The card suggests using quiet research and teaching to illuminate unknown areas of life and to question one's identity. Reversed, it warns of isolation's pitfalls: misunderstanding, social disconnection, and an identity crisis.

Visual Description

A small smiling ghost stands beside a large brass lantern set on grassy ground. The lantern glows with several tiny flame-sprites inside, their little faces visible; one small flame floats near the ghost's hand. A crescent moon hangs above jagged, snowy mountains and light white specks drift through the pale sky. Pumpkins and green foliage dot the foreground around rocks and soft grass.
