The Hermit: Card Description
The Hermit shows us an old man, who is alone on the top of a mountain with a lit lamp in his hand. Mountains usually symbolize achievement, growth, and the achievement of goals.
The Hermit has reached his pinnacle, his highest peak on a spiritual level and is willing to share his knowledge with others and also continues the path that he has chosen, committed to his goal of ultimate consciousness.
The star inside the lamppost that it carries has six points, representing one of the Seals of Solomon and being a symbol of wisdom
The crook or long staff carried by the Hermit, is the representation of the patriarch, a symbol of the narrow path of initiation and an emblem of power and authority. It also represents the hermit’s ability to use his isolation and the knowledge he has acquired as a tool on his way to reach the highest levels of consciousness.
The staff is in the hermit’s left hand , which is the hand associated with the subconscious mind. Snow represents the heights of spiritual achievement.
He wears a gray cloak that symbolizes invisibility. Its secrets are not for everyone, only for those who sincerely seek them and who are willing to climb to the heights of wisdom.

It is necessary to reconnect with the outside world and with people, especially those closest to us who provide us with support and affection.
