The Hermit – Truth Within – 9th Tarot Card
The 9th Tarot card in the Tarot deck. The Hermit – The Capuchin, Sage. The Hermit is a man of age holding a lantern high, showing the idea of the Ancient of Days with the Light of the World (a Star) in his lantern. Often said to be in search of Truth located far off, and of justice which has preceded him on the way (Court do Gebelin), however, this is not a card of a quest but more of attainment (achievement, realization). The Hermit is a patient teacher. He has knowledge of this world and the world after.
Upright: Guidance and Wisdom. Act with good sense. This is a time to look at what really matters in your life. A time for reflection. Find the truth within yourself. Circumspection.
Reversed: Concealment or disguise of what you’re feeling inside. Warning to avoid being gullible or acting in haste. Fear, unreasoned caution, misinformation.
