Today's card comes from the Barbara Walker Tarot. The Hermit is a card of introspection and inner journeys. Bearing the lantern of truth / lantern of spirit, the Hermit seeks knowledge of themself and the world.In an upright orientation (also known as direct) the Hermit speaks of a time of withdrawal and isolation for the sake of focus upon one's inner life and spirituality. In an downward orientation (also known as indirect), the Hermit warns one of the dangers of avoiding social contact and disconnection with the world at large.
In the Fool's journey, the Hermit appears to guide the Fool farther along the mysterious path to self knowledge.
