The card of the Hermit represents inner strength, vigilance, and counsel; it can also represent prudence, caution, and patience. The card of the Hermit can also symbolize your withdrawal from something, an annulment; it may also be telling you that you are going to be or already are a loner. Do not let this bother you there are times in your life when being a loner or Hermit is what you may need to solve a problem.
The Hermit is a knowledge seeker, and the knowledge he is seeking will not be found in the physical world, this knowledge can only be found within you. The Hermit also knows that he must seek his answers on his own, only the sound of his inner voice and the light of the lamp are there to guide him on his journey. If you are to find the answers you are looking for you must seek with those answers with no distractions, it is not enough to rid yourself of your inner turmoil; you must also rid yourself of your outer turmoil as well. The only way to do this is to follow the Hermit in his example, which is complete isolation and withdrawal from the world. This time the isolation is not just by choice, but now it is also a necessity.
If the Hermit has learned his lessons and found true wisdom, he will often pick up his lamp, and return to the “real” world in order to help others meet their own potential. The Hermit knows that true enlightenment and wisdom can only come from within. Wisdom is not presented to you on a silver platter; it is a gift that you give to yourself. Your life lessons can’t be forced, rushed, or made to happen before its time. Wisdom can only come from knowledge when you earn it. Everything you left behind on this journey will still be there when you return, in fact the only thing that will have changed…is you.
If the Hermit appears in your spread he might be telling you that you need to learn more about yourself, and why you exist. He is telling you that it is time to put your worldly problems on hold; it is time to work on the inner you. If the Hermit card appears in the “How others see you” this could mean that other may see you as a mentor, you may be able to teach someone something they did not know. It could also mean that a mentor or a teacher is about to enter your life, if that is the case make sure you are open to the possibility of learning something new.
