IX. The Hermit
As you continue your journey you climb elevations you never thought possible. And as you continue this climb you find a lone man holding a lantern. Maybe you wonder how he could feel so comfortable being alone in this isolated area. Perhaps he tells you that he used to be uncomfortable up here all alone until he realized he was uncomfortable with aspects of himself. Now he is more comfortable than anyone among the crowds.
If you find yourself in the company of The Hermit you may be on a new path for knowledge. This could be a literal trip somewhere or this could represent that you are now doing something for you, something that maybe others don't necessarily understand. So you are, in a sense, on a journey alone.
Don't necessarily feel that this is a lonely time, as none of us are ever truly alone. The lantern that you will hold is a bright light, that is your inner being, your ability to find your way no matter, how dark it may seem. As you travel, and maybe grow more comfortable with yourself, you realize you have reached new heights, new levels of spiritual elevations or awareness. Be thoughtful, patient and cautious, you will get to where you need to be.
Maybe you have started your journey and feel you need a little outside help. This card could indicate that if you keep on your current course that the mentor that you need will eventually some how come along your path.
There is no need to worry about loneliness with The Hermit, sometimes in order to grow and experience the next step of growth we need to do it alone. Eventually we will find others along our path going in the same direction.
