The Hermit
The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through
Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.
An old man stands on a peak, one lantern raised
The clear answer that solitude finds
Solitude stretched into isolation
The lantern lights the way down too — descend once you have your answer
As your card of the day
If The Hermit is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “The clear answer that solitude finds”. When it tips toward “Solitude stretched into isolation”, remember the way the picture draws: The lantern lights the way down too — descend once you have your answer.
