The Hermit.
The ninth card of the major arcana.
The grey card of the tarot.
Solitude,searching,guidance, introspection.
The hermit holds his lantern
looking pensively to the ground.
His lantern signifies a period
of searching,questioning.
The need to be alone.
To rest from the travails of the world.
To meditate.
To seek guidance for the future.
After a period of solitude
and reflection.
The hermit can reconsider
his quest and start a new
journey,a new beginning.
Thus the hermit can become
the fool.
The first card of the major arcana.
Beginning,spontaneity
and faith in the future.
