Dr.Nikki's Tarot -
The Hermit
The contemplative young man, clothed in robes of
many layers indicating strict adherence.  Their
many layers protect him from the vagaries of the
world as he hides within himself as indicated by
his closed eyes.  His head is surrounded by the
rays of knowledge brought by self-introspection,
the higher self connecting with the divine.  His
face, though contemplative, projects a sense of
serenity.  The knot work that surrounds the
window scrolls in an infinitive design around the
window.

The Hermit speaks to us across the eons with the
Voice of the Oracle of Delphi.  Before consulting
one of the greatest sages of their era (although
there were numerous Oracles) everyone –
Ceaser or slave – walked beneath the words
“Know Thyself.”  Shakespeare reflected the
same attitude with his “to thine own self be true.”
The Hermit tells you to go within.  When he appears in
your spread he is telling you to listen to your inner
voice and make your choice from your own knowledge
and understanding.  Don’t let others talk you into
something you don’t want to do.  The Hermit also
teaches us the great lessons of sacrifice.  Equivalent
exchange, nothing is free, there is always a price of
some form that is paid.  The caution of the Hermit may
be that you are keeping too much to yourself and it is
time to open up and let it someone else in…just be
judicious in your choice!
