the hermit

the fool's journey - contributed by Anya Gascoine

Having faced his inner demons and shadows, desires and guilt with Strength, The Fool now needs to relax in order to find some answers from within. He meets a Hermit who shines a light ahead of him, showing The Fool the path forward and easing his journey ahead. The Fool feels secure and protected with this light around him and follows the Hermits direction. As he turns around he notices that the Hermit is no longer there and yet the path is still illuminated. As he progresses along the path he wonders to himself what this can mean. He allows his mind and spirit to connect in a walking meditation and in doing so finds inner illumination from within. The answers to his dilemmas and worries of late come to him as though he had been guided to them, and he realises that The Hermit is not just another old wise man from whom he must learn, but instead an aspect of himself - his own inner sage.

Shining the light ahead, The Fool is able to seek his own guidance and then realises that he is capable of sharing this wisdom with others. Guidance is not just a one way thing, but once you are able to understand your own inner wisdom that sheds light on issues that affect your life, then you are better placed to advise others when they need help. Sharing knowledge is the key to this card; it's not just about hiding away in order to find out what’s going on in your own life, or indeed solely focused on taking advice from others.

If anything it is a reminder to share wisdom, and to be as affirming to others as you are to yourself. Wisdom can be gained and shared in many forms; meditation, tarot, yoga, conversation, counseling, exercise, religion, finding a soulmate to share with, hobbies, diet, spa, inspirational writings and many other ways. Find one that suits you. Ultimately, the wisdom you seek is around you, just let the light shine and you will find the path to the answers you seek.
