Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

It’s very likely that at this time a person will come into your life who is like a mentor or teacher even if they don’t ‘teach’ you directly. You will still learn from them on several levels. Honor the need that you may be having to withdraw to a degree from ordinary life – It won’t last forever. You will soon be feeling much more social, so don’t push yourself now to be around a lot of people unless it is absolutely necessary. You will likely emerge from this month feeling refreshed and renewed, particularly on a spiritual level.

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
Complete Book of Tarot: The symbolism of numbers plays an important role in many forms of divination, including the tarot. In Western philosophy, the belief in the spiritual significance of numbers dates at least as far back as ancient Greece, especially the time of Pythagoras. Often described as the first pure mathematician, Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570 BCE–c. 495 BCE) is credited with the Pythagorean theorem that we learned in high school. Pythagoras was a major proponent of the symbolic significance of numbers. According to his biographer Iamblichus (c. 300 CE), Pythagoras taught that number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and daemons.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Hermit indicates a need to spend time far from the madding crowd. Now is a time to collect your thoughts and regroup your forces. A period of solitude and contemplation is in order. In this modern age of technology, someone quipped that meditation provides the answers you can’t find on Google. You have been through a lot, and the time has come to wait and watch. An attitude of patient circumspection will allow you to put matters in perspective and learn from your experience. You might consider reading Eckhardt Tolle’s book The Power of Now.

Angel Encyclopedia: MONT ST. MICHEL, FRANCE In France, a similar but grander Benedictine abbey was built on Mont St. Michel, a huge quasi-island rock 1 kilometer wide and 80 feet high, off the Normandy coast. Its isolation made it a natural locale for pagan cults and hermits.

Reversed Cards: Are you ignoring your spiritual pillar? Perhaps you have decided it is all way too ‘woo-woo’ for someone like you. I know, I can relate. But if you have received the Hermit in the blocked aspect, this stubbornness of yours is doing you more harm than good. Just for now, allow yourself to explore the possibility that there may just be a spiritual path you can feel comfortable with. Just for now, explore the similarities between prayer, spellwork, and intention setting. Just for now, open up to the possibility that you can no longer ignore that what happens to you in real life might be connected to how you see your spiritual life. All you are doing is opening the door to possibility. Nothing more, nothing less. But this and this alone might just be enough to move you out of this blocked, limited, stuck energy.
