Card Meaning

'The Hermit is a seeking soul.' The wise man, wearing a cloak, stands on the peak of an ice mountain, holding a lamp in the darkness. He single-mindedly pursues truth, and although far from the mundane world, his gaze always looks down upon humanity with deep affection. The 'Fool' in the Major Arcana has grown from a reckless young man into a gray-haired elder. He may have lost his passion, but his wisdom and experience have increased daily. He now views life with detachment, but this doesn't mean he lacks inner passion. After experiencing life's ups and downs, while reflecting on his many mistakes in life, he also contemplates how to care for humanity, because he loves humanity. The Hermit willingly embraces solitude, walking in the night, constantly thinking about how to lead humanity out of the cage of thoughts and secular life. In divination, the primary meaning of the Hermit card is seeking and guidance. It also represents calmness in handling matters, and sometimes indicates that you may need to listen to the advice of elders or seniors.
