The Hermit is a card of introspection, solitude, and seeking wisdom. It represents the journey inward—a time for reflection, spiritual growth, and deep personal understanding.

Traditionally, The Hermit is depicted as an old sage carrying a lantern, symbolizing the light of knowledge that guides him through darkness. He teaches that sometimes, we need to withdraw from external noise to hear our inner truth.

If you pull The Hermit, it’s a sign to embrace silence, self-discovery, and inner guidance. Answers are not always found in the outside world—they already exist within you.

Ask yourself:

  • Do I need time alone to reflect and realign with my purpose?
  • Am I seeking wisdom from within rather than external validation?
  • How can I listen more deeply to my inner voice?
