| The Hermit holds an hour glass suggesting the passage of time. This card represents wise old men or women. A person who shows the way, dispels the darkness = alone. When this card shows up in a reading it suggests that you look for someone who will show you the way. Guidance, help - the highest knowledge is available to you. Self-denial, withdrawal. When reversed it signifies childishness or immaturity, refusing to grow up, refusing to learn, rejection of wisdom or advice. Someone in need of counseling. Sometimes it means there is an inner voice within that will show the way through dreams but this is rare. |
