Waters of Unknowable Knowledge

These are the waters of unknowable knowledge. A place where suffering, pain, and the sadness of solitude are known.

The Corner of Truth-Seeking

This is a corner where truth is sought. Where the nymphs of sensuality live.

Visual Description

A luminous, otherworldly scene shows a naked woman kneeling in shallow, reflective water as she leans her head and arms on an ornate, patterned shield. Nearby lies a decorated helmet partially submerged and a long sword stands point-down in the water, its hilt dripping and textured. Behind the woman a veil of glowing, translucent light or wings fans upward into a dark, leafy forested backdrop, and the card’s surface reflects the figures and light. The card border shows the Roman numeral IX in red at the top left and the title THE HERMIT / EL ERMITAÑO at the top right, with translations at the bottom edge.
