The hermit's card says that you are alone on your own way out with your inner light as the point of wandering in this realm. In both realms you walk in what you think you find. Your place is the world and not a particular place. 9 stands for the energy of the moon in Kabbalah, the tree of life sephiroth Yesold, which epitomises waiting. In Celtic mythology, people who wanted to get rid of the ninth wave were thrown out because it represented the energy of the moon
For this reason, some will be driven out of this world. 9an in Pythagorean number mysticism, 9 an stands for the 9an.is the last digit before the 10 number which is a new level of prime numbers together where the character of the digit is associated with the personal deep desire to live
life through inner inspiration and the surrender to the mystery of the inner world to find the light in the darkness and have the light in one's hand for the inner search to be a
part of and dependent on the world around and its need for attention.
The hermit has no place in life, or he avoids it so as not to become part of the spectacle he observes from his own
person. Although he is part of it, he tries to separate himself as best he can from the external reality, which is not the reality he follows in his mind, but sees his inner reality, which is embodied in the expressions he perceives.
He is the eternal wanderer who has no real point in existence
The separation between his own imaginary world and the external collective truth as he sees it means that he often reserves the right to enter fully into the external existence in which we live in the collective culture of which he is often or sometimes not
is part of.
external existence where we live in the collective culture of which he is often or sometimes not part.
The hermit tries to manifest his separateness in various ways and thus cultivate his inner self and perhaps create a fusion between the outer and inner reality. In this way he also becomes aware that all other individuals have their own
sides and worlds parallel to the outer world.
In the garden tarot I have chosen to illustrate him as the wandering man with his lantern shining his way. For he owns nothing in the world but has his light which he spreads his light. he is the wise man who walks for he owns no place like this his home or wanders for he owns his temporary self to find a new place to settle.
In professional life, the eerimete is the one who enjoys solitude and feels safe with it. They are the lonely programmers, mystics, writers and artists who sit in their rooms and work in their own sphere. They are the ones who independently bide their time.
