#be the lamp for others as gnostic texts say

[ankhmeanswombman]

God is an intricate designer who’s art is often misunderstood and misinterpreted by small-picture thinkers who are confused at the outcome of their lives, confused by the mission they’re graciously given and confused about the fact that some peoples karmic mission is to be cycle-breakers, no it’s not always easy but it can certainly be easier when you lay your burdened heart down on God’s eternal shoulder and find comfort and healing within. When I say God is everywhere I’m not being facetious, and by no means am I being wishy washy, perhaps this is the best kept secret, and that’s why the nefarious elites are capitalising on those staring at the sky and waiting while God’s all seeing eye within their very cells is crying amidst the calamities they have spurned for themselves. You are a face of God and that is a fortunate truth, which means you have some power to act when the 3D walls begin to fall, but you can only do so individually. You cannot force change but you can be the thread that unravels the spiral of inspiration for others who feel a heavy heart. Happiness is just around the bend. Those who feel stuck catering to faux friendship groups and fearing political motives set out by wolves in sheep’s clothing will always find it difficult to envision themselves in their divine purpose as a cycle-breaker because they have become invested in the realm of the infested just as much as the next decaying person. The good news is that the process of decay can be halted and even reversed with a clean mind and constant contemplation on the Divine Within and Without. Karma can appear ruthless and militant but it is fair nonetheless because it doles out retributions in accordance with prior actions, the result of which isn’t always seen immediately but is acted upon immediately, triggering a chain of events leading up to karmic happenings that, to the uninitiated, seemed to have “come out of nowhere”. Every action has a reaction and that’s the cold hard fact. Regain your focus and see the big picture, and suddenly every small-picture jigsaw piece will reveal itself to you as a karmic tidbit, and only then will clarity dawn upon you as to why the world is as it is. You are the world and the world is you, so be a cosmic beacon of light to those drowning in endless sea of darkness, shine independently and be so luminous and light-filled that they cannot help but be drawn into you like a black hole that sucks in all objects in its path. Influence the Earth by being the living embodiment of righteousness, innocence and purity and watch your magnetism radiate, churning positives out of negatives.

One of the more esoteric cards of the tarot deck is the Hermit. He is one of the cards that illuminates the inner world of the Querent.

He has ascended the heights of spiritual knowledge and fulfillment, and he stands ready to impart this knowledge if you’re willing to listen. While the high priestess represents the raw power of intuition, he is a beacon of this knowledge. You attain his strengths through careful inner work and introspection. You achieve the spirit of this card through diligent study, and by making a point to turn within to find deeper answers to universal questions. He is not your gut. He is your mind clear and transparent to you.

Story and evolution of the card

The Hermit is part of the major arcana of tarot cards and is associated with the zodiac sign of Virgo. It's the ninth card of the deck but is associated with the number ten because the Fool is assigned the number zero. The card is often represented by a single man facing away. He holds a lamp that stands for the light of inner truth. He is alone, but content. Though he seeks his truth within he doesn’t shy away from others. In the earliest tarot decks, the card was not a hermit, but a beggar, and then a beggar with angelic wings. Over the centuries his image has evolved from this into what we recognize today.

Interesting decks in which The Hermit plays a special role

The image most recognize is from Rider-Waite deck. This deck rejects any early kabbalistic or Egyptian influences of the imagery, choosing instead to focus on early Christian mysticism and gnostic symbols.

Meaning of the card (standing)

Seeing the Hermit in a spread suggests that the Querent is in a phase of soul searching or introspection about a question or situation. It’s time to look for answers within because the truth is already there. Maybe the Querent is seeking a new direction in life but is unsure of his or her ability to proceed. The Querent knows the answer somewhere in the subconscious and must draw on hidden truths. This need for a change has something to do with the deeper meaning of life and what we are here to learn. This is not a time to seek the status quo or to continue doing what’s already been done. This card signifies a connection to the deeper truths of the universe and our relationship to the source. He is also above base judgments and can love but with detachment. He doesn’t need to change others or feel whipped about by what others do and say. Instead, he can love in a clear-headed way, and understand how different factors and influences might cause suffering and pain in others even when they don’t see it.

Reversed meaning of the card

The reversed meaning of the Hermit can mean one of two things. If you’ve spent too much time seeking outward recognition and looking to others for your source of truth, it’s time for you to spend some time in reflection to find your inner truth again. It’s also possible that you’ve spent too much time in introspection. It’s easy to stay inward as this is a place of safety, but it’s time for you to take what you’ve learned and connect with others again. Also, it’s important to be alone for the sake of self-healing and coming to an understanding of ourselves, but spending too much time alone causes us to feel isolated and disconnected from the strength of our community. It asks you to balance these two concepts for personal development and mental and spiritual health. We shouldn’t be a slave to the opinions of others, but neither should we shut out their wisdom.

Surprising facts about the card

One its most famous depictions isn’t in a set of tarot cards. There’s a stylized version of the card illustration on the inner sleeve of Led Zeppelin’s 1971 untitled album. Fans commonly refer to this album as Led Zeppelin IV, and the artist credited with the illustration is Barrington Colby. Because little is known about this artist, many have speculated that it was Jimmy Page, the guitar player and suspected occult devotee. The card also appears as a character in several video games, including “House of the Dead” and “The Binding of Isaac.” In the movie “Now You See Me,” the card is given to one of the recruits.

What the card could mean

In a question about love, if you’re single, the card can indicate that you are tired of the single life and are looking for someone who fulfills your desire for partnership. People in relationships may find that this card indicates discord in how close the two partners are. Usually, one partner is pulling away or needing space while the other desires to draw closer.

As far as health is concerned, the Hermit can indicate that it’s time to start enjoying simple things in life. Maybe life is too busy with all the tasks that have to be done, but now is the time to reflect on areas in which self-care is lacking. There is a need to find balance and relieve stress and pressure of trying to do too many things. In career meanings, the querent is often looking for deeper meaning in wealth and career issues. Maybe the focus has been on financial wealth and outward accomplishment without regard to how the querent feels fulfilled by these things. The card suggests that it’s time to look deeper into the meaning of the querent’s life and what purpose they see themselves fulfilling.

Conclusion

My favorite depiction of the Hermit is in the Herbal Tarot. Here, we follow behind the hermit along the path to our inner enlightenment as he leads the way. The road to the mountains is a long one, but he holds the light ahead of us to make our journey easier. This card is a reminder to all to look within for strength and truth and to make that practice a divine part of every day. It is one of my favorites. How do you work with the Hermit?
