The Hermit – The Lantern of Inner Light

Numbered IX, The Hermit is the wise seeker, the sage, the mystic, and the way-shower. He appears as a solitary figure holding a lantern in the dark, standing atop a mountain of wisdom gained through inner exploration. His presence in a reading often signals the call to turn inward, to retreat, and to listen to the still small voice within. But it also represents the culmination of a cycle of growth—a pause before the next initiation.
