The Role Of Hermits

Hermits have long been revered in witchcraft, mysticism, and occult traditions for their roles as seekers of wisdom, spiritual protectors, and keepers of ancient knowledge. The hermit archetype embodies solitude, introspection, and the pursuit of hidden truths. In witchcraft, hermits play a unique role in personal transformation, spiritual guidance, and deep magickal work.

The Archetype of the Hermit in Witchcraft

In many traditions, the hermit is a symbol of wisdom, seclusion, and enlightenment. This is reflected in the Tarot card "The Hermit", which represents introspection, seeking truth, and following an inner light.

Core Traits of the Witch-Hermit:

• Lives in solitude or remote areas (forests, mountains, caves, or secluded homes)

• Devotes time to spiritual study, meditation, and deep magickal practice

• Acts as a guardian of hidden knowledge

• Connects with nature, spirits, and unseen forces

• Often avoids mainstream society, preferring independence

The Hermit as a Guardian of Esoteric Knowledge

Hermits in witchcraft are often seen as keepers of magickal traditions, preserving rituals, herbal knowledge, and lost wisdom. Many folk healers, cunning folk, and wise women historically lived on the edges of society, practicing their craft in seclusion.

Types of Hermit Witches:

• The Forest Witch – Lives deep in the woods, working with plants, spirits, and animals.

• The Solitary Alchemist – Devotes life to philosophy, transformation, and secret experiments.

• The Spirit Walker – Isolated to commune with spirits, ancestors, or astral beings.

• The Prophetic Seer – Uses solitude to enhance visions, divination, and trance work.

• The Temple Keeper – Protects sacred sites, ruins, or hidden places of power.

The Role of Solitude in Witchcraft

Solitude is often essential in witchcraft and magickal development. Many witches embrace temporary or lifelong hermitage to:

• Strengthen their magical abilities – Uninterrupted practice leads to stronger energy work, intuition, and manifestation skills.

• Connect deeply with nature – The natural world provides wisdom, omens, and spiritual allies.

• Enhance psychic abilities – Silence and solitude heighten clairvoyance, dream work, and meditation.

• Undergo spiritual transformation – Many spiritual initiations require time away from society.

Hermits as Teachers and Guides

Though they live in isolation, hermits sometimes serve as mentors, healers, and initiators in witchcraft traditions. In folklore, many powerful witches and sorcerers live alone but help those seeking knowledge.

Examples of Hermit Teachers in Witchcraft & Folklore:

• The Crone in the Woods – An old witch living alone, offering wisdom, potions, or prophecies.

• The Hidden Master – An occultist who teaches only a select few dedicated students.

• The Shamanic Seer – A mystic who communes with spirits and offers guidance.

Modern Witchcraft & Hermit Practices

Many modern witches embrace hermit-like practices to deepen their craft, even if they do not fully withdraw from society.

Ways to Incorporate Hermit Wisdom into Your Practice:

• Solo Rituals & Spellwork – Dedicate time to private rituals, free from distractions.

• Retreats & Solitude – Spend time alone in nature or in a sacred space for spiritual renewal.

• Deep Study & Esoteric Learning – Read ancient texts, practice divination, and refine magickal techniques.

• Energy Work & Meditation – Strengthen intuition, astral travel, and communion with spirits.

• Avoiding Mundane Distractions – Limit exposure to social noise to focus on personal power.

The hermit is a powerful figure in witchcraft, representing wisdom, self-discovery, and mastery of the unseen. Whether you fully embrace solitude or periodically retreat for spiritual work, adopting the hermit’s path can unlock deeper magickal potential, connection with nature, and hidden knowledge.

While alchemy, kabbalah, tarot, and psychology have developed as distinct traditions throughout history, they share profound roots within the esoteric mystery schools of antiquity. Rather than forming a new age hodgepodge or vague constellation of disparate belief systems, these principles convey the multifaceted nature of spiritual practice and divine realization from different angles, constituting a unique body of experiential knowledge known in Greek as γνῶσις gnosis. Therefore, properly prepared individuals can utilize these insights for interpreting the highly symbolic, mystical, and alchemical art of opera, whose composers were often Freemasons initiated into the secret allegories and disciplines of the ancients. This lecture explains some of the spiritual traditions behind Puccini's La Bohème, which will serve for future viewings and discussions on its gnostic symbolism, especially in relation to creative energy (alchemy), character representations and archetypes (kabbalah), predictive, prophetic, and pragmatic implications (tarot), and the path of internal transformation (psychology).

Libra and Capricorn moons are not compatible and here’s why…

Libra moons need peace.

Capricorn moons don’t know how to express themselves.

So, basically, their relationship is like crickets chirping!🦗

Libra moons are repelled by arguments! Libra moons need this.

Capricorn moons do not mind arguments, bc it gives them an opportunity to express the feelings they have built up inside of them for eons! Cap moons need that.

These planets are also in a square, which is a challenging aspect and creates stress between both planets.

The symbol of the essence of creation, often expressed in the simple form of the vesica piscis. According to Christian legend God incarnate himself, like each of us, was born to die. And not of some vapor, not descended from the heavens fully formed, but of the flesh and blood of a human body as a helpless baby, an animal among other animals, apes that we are. There is magic in the mundane. There is a sanctity beyond the golden halls of the great papacy that cannot be tainted by the water, swear, blood, and shit of impoverished birth in the mud and straw of the barn. That which is deemed filthy is where the holy persists the most gloriously.

[chicagognosis]

It is important to understand that real knowledge is of the heart. Real wisdom is what we live. Real knowledge comes from experience, and more importantly, that experience of higher realities comes when we investigate our own heart, our own mind, our ways of living, and to look, not to assume that we know, “I am of this race, this culture, this religion, this belief system, these politics, this upbringing.” It means to really look at what is inside in terms of our emotions, our impulses, our will.

This active looking is precisely what every tradition teaches about meditation: to look, to observe, to acquire new information―not to assume that we already know who we are, but to be open and to watch in a state of stillness, of observation, of clarity. It is that inner discrimination of ourselves that really helps us to distinguish right from wrong. It is our heart, our conscience, that tells us what is right and what is wrong. We may have traditions that tell us these things, but what do we know in our being about what to do? ― especially when we are faced with situations that are so complex that we are baffled. We are confused. We are overwhelmed, like you heard in Carmina Burana. When fate hits, the hammer of karma, of hardship, strikes, and we find all of those things that we typically ignore come to the surface of our mind, things we may neglect or fail to look at.

The Great Pyramid: A Forgotten Technology Bridging Science and the Ancients

With the recent discoveries of cylindrical structures sparking widespread interest, I’d like to share a collection of images and insights I’ve gathered over the years from a variety of sources. This article aims to shed light on these fascinating structures and the ongoing research surrounding them.

For centuries, the Great Pyramid of Giza has stood as a silent enigma, dismissed by mainstream archaeology as a mere tomb. Yet, when one examines its mathematical precision, alignment to celestial bodies, and energetic properties, a vastly different picture emerges—one that suggests the pyramid was never meant for the dead, but for something far more profound.

A Structure Beyond Its Time

The Great Pyramid's dimensions encode mathematical constants such as pi (π) and phi (φ), numbers deeply embedded in nature and human biology. Edward Grant's work highlights the Vitruvian Man as a model of mathematical perfection, mirroring the proportions of the human body found within the pyramid’s geometry. This precision was not accidental; rather, it suggests an advanced understanding of harmonics, resonance, and energy.

Historical texts like The Emerald Tablets of Thoth, The Kybalion, and Plato’s Timaeus discuss the geometric principles underlying reality, hinting that ancient civilizations possessed knowledge that we are only beginning to rediscover. Even Leonardo da Vinci, inspired by Hermetic traditions, embedded these sacred ratios in his own work, reinforcing the link between human consciousness, mathematics, and the cosmos.

Ancient Technology: A Power Source Hidden in Plain Sight

The pyramid’s original casing stones were made of highly polished white limestone, reflecting sunlight and making it visible for miles. Its now-missing capstone, possibly made of gold or electrum, would have made it an incredibly efficient conductor. Beneath the pyramid, water channels still exist—and when combined with the structure’s quartz and granite materials, they create piezoelectric energy, a phenomenon where mechanical stress generates electrical charge.

Nikola Tesla, whose work on wireless energy transmission mirrored ancient principles, once suggested that the Earth itself could be used as a conductor. If the Great Pyramid was part of a global energy grid, then its function may have extended beyond Egypt, possibly linking other pyramids across the world in a vast, lost technology network.

Suppression of Knowledge: What Are They Hiding?

Dr. J.O. Kinnaman, an early 20th-century Egyptologist, claimed to have found evidence that the pyramid’s true function was far beyond burial practices. He, along with Sir Flinders Petrie, allegedly uncovered technology that was deemed too dangerous for the world to know. Similar suppression exists today—ground-penetrating radar has revealed hidden chambers and tunnels beneath Giza, but access remains restricted by authorities.

Why? Because if the pyramids were a free energy device, this revelation could collapse modern energy industries overnight. Tesla faced similar suppression when he attempted to bring free energy to the world, only to be shut down by financial interests who profited from fossil fuels and centralized power grids.

What Lies Beneath: The Hall of Records and Ancient Knowledge

Edgar Cayce, the "Sleeping Prophet," predicted that the Hall of Records lies beneath the Sphinx, containing the lost history of humanity and the remnants of a forgotten, advanced civilization. Ancient texts, including The Book of Enoch and The Hermetica, suggest that knowledge from pre-diluvian societies was preserved underground, safeguarded for a time when humanity was ready to reclaim it.

Recent discoveries of massive cylindrical columns beneath the pyramids hint at an underlying structure, possibly remnants of an energy system once connected to ley lines. If this technology was fully understood, it could rewrite history and redefine what we know about energy, consciousness, and the very fabric of reality.

The Pyramid Code: A Gateway to the Future

Philosophers such as Manly P. Hall and Walter Russell spoke of knowledge encoded in geometry and frequency, knowledge that only an awakened mind could perceive. If the pyramids were not merely tombs, but part of a grander system designed to harness and elevate consciousness, then their rediscovery may be less about archaeology and more about unlocking the full potential of the human mind.

What happens when we are ready to receive this knowledge? What shifts when we begin to see the pyramid not as a relic of the past, but as a key to the future?

The answers may not lie in what is still buried beneath the sand, but in what is waiting to be reawakened within us.
