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.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Ten of Wands implies an inability to delegate and an undue sense of responsibility for all aspects of a project. Others may be taking advantage of your willingness to do everything yourself. It’s time that they stepped up to the plate and pulled their fair load. If you don’t trust your colleagues to participate fairly, perhaps you should not be working with them. Consider the proverb, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl.’

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Hermit suggests that you are caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and unable to see clearly where you are headed. Consider taking some time off and allowing yourself space to meditate and get back on track. A great philosopher once commented that the unexamined life is not worth living. There is a lot of wisdom to be gleaned from your experience if only you take the time to do so. A little distance is what you need to put matters in perspective.

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.

Reversed Cards: The Hermit, regardless of its orientation, is rather a protective figure. He is in many ways a guide, someone who will show you the safest way to your destination. Now, that may not always be the easiest way, but it will be the safest. In this respect, he acts like a shamanistic tool, someone you can journey with, someone who lights the way. The Hermit knows his territory well and understands you are merely a visitor. Which is odd when you think about it—how come you are only a visitor in the domain of the Hermit? Should this not be a space sacred to the self ? It is; you just have not stepped foot here before, and you haven’t a clue how to navigate this new space. Think of the Hermit in the protection aspect as your orientation day to you. Here you get a chance to familiarize yourself with the new landscape. You get told some of the basic rules of engagement with the inner world and then you are shown where all the important exits are if you find you need to leave. How long your orientation lasts is up to you. Rest assured that regardless of the length of your stay, the Hermit will not leave you alone on this inner voyage until you give him the all clear.
