The Hermit

Major Arcana · Earth

The Hermit withdraws from noise to find the light that only solitude reveals. It invites a deliberate pause for reflection, where your own inner lamp becomes the guide. Reflect on what clarity might emerge if you stepped back from the crowd and listened to your own counsel.

The image

A cloaked elder stands alone on a snowy peak, holding a lantern that contains a six-pointed star, leaning on a staff. He gazes downward into the darkness below.
