Family, Friends & Relationships:

Just like with the Strength card, you may even more so be in the frame of mind that you need some time alone – don’t be afraid to take it. Even if it’s just a five minute walk around the house so that you can clear your head. This is also very much a card about ‘trying very hard to do the right thing.’ Just make sure that ‘doing the right thing’ includes doing what is right for you personally, and not just worrying about the wants and needs of others.

Card Meanings: Caution, Prudence, Soul Searching, Introspection, Withdrawal, Vigilance, Spiritual Enlightenment, Inner Guidance, Self-Reflection, Contemplation, Inner Strength

The Hermit is an extremely spiritual card, and often has to do with institutions and large organizations – everything from a bank to the entire Christian Church. This card indicates spirituality even if you are an atheist. It’s in whatever sense the word ‘spirit’ makes sense to you, even if for you ‘spirit’ equates to ’emotion.’ You may be trying hard to figure out what the ‘truth’ is about someone (or some matter), don’t feel that you have to do it all on your own, ask for help if you need it to gain different perspectives, more information, etc.

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: According to Roman belief it was considered a curse to die without any surviving family. Lemures also included victims of murder, drowning and violent death, executed criminals and those who had died prematurely and were trapped on earth until their allotted life span expired. Black beans would be laid around the tomb of a body to prevent a lemure rising up from the grave, and if a lemure did haunt the living the standard method of exorcism was the banging of drums.

Tarot Triumphs: The presence of the solar and lunar emblems, and the eight-pointed star of Venus at the head of the symbols on most of the boundary-stones suggests that an astral character underlies them.’ The author goes on to suggest that some of the accompanying symbols are taken from the zodiac. He also refers to the eight-pointed star as representing Venus, possibly another lead to the Star in the Tarot pack. L. W.

Tarot Triumphs: The Hermit follows his own path, but in accordance with values of a higher order. He is solitary, but he may impart his knowledge to someone who truly seeks it. The Hermit represents individuality, patience, frugality, and steadfastness. He can also signify poverty or making do with very little. Aloneness, but not necessarily loneliness, is a keynote here.
