The Hermit is a representation of the need to take time for yourself. The reason is not just for self because it is a time of healing but more of a time to reflect on yourself, your hopes, your path, and the current parameters that make up your life as it is today.

The Hermit is depicted atop a large mountain. As you can infer from the environment of the mountain it is not a spa day. Rather it is an intense personal retreat where the conditions of the environment make for you to focus on yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings, without distraction.

 (The Hermit Card from Golden Thread Tarot)

This makes the activity of the hermit much more solemn than just a simple self-care day. This is hardcore human development happening here. Though we do not have to subject ourselves to the extremes of the Hermit to uncover our truth, we can take the hint that this is a serious matter and deserves careful examination and mindfulness.

Today is gonna be that day. At some point, you need to come to your own refuge of solitude, and give yourself the attention and the self-examination required for your well-being and to determine the next course of action.

       (The Hermit Card from 8-Bit Tarot)

The Hermit holds a lantern, symbolic of his search and the dark places it can take him. Often within the lantern is a 6 pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, it is a symbol of wisdom which is what helps guide the Hermit on his journey for truth. He holds a staff signaling his power and authority.

You must use your accumulated wisdom to guide you through the tough terrain and do so with power and authority. The determined spirit of one who seeks enlightenment.

   (The Hermit Card from the Cosmic deck)

In any reading where the hermit appears it's usually an indication that you should pause and really examine the situation. In relationship readings really try to understand yourself, your partner, and the relationship and set forth clear communication. For career readings, it signifies a time when wisdom and discernment are needed before making any big decisions and contracts. In health readings, it signifies the need to be away from your normal environment and search for one where you can focus on healing.

The Hermit is a guide and teacher so it would be appropriate to be on the lookout for who this guide or teacher could be in your life events as they come to unfold.

May the wheel turn in our favor!

Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program: "Then and Now: I Am on My Way"

Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program "Then and Now: I Am on My Way" From being jobless, hopeless and full of drugs, to being sober, clean, on work therapy and full of life! It's been quite the rollercoaster 🎢.  Here's a little writing I have been inspired, at this moment, to put down: I have been in the valley of death; I am climbing the mountain to a better life. The potential to fall is real, the slope is slippery, but my will and my spirit is stronger than it has been in just a year ago today. 🌄⭐🙏 Change is real but it takes work. Faith without works is dead. Thoughts and feelings are meaningless without action. I thank Spirit, the God of my understanding, for working in my life and granting me the answer to my pitiful prayers. ❤️ I look back at this person of a year ago, I see things I recognize but there are parts I do not. I can't say I'm different, it's only been 2 months, but I can say that a change is taking place. Slowly, but surely...

From Self-Will to Surrender: The Transformative Power of Hope and Faith in My Recovery

Image
Hope and Faith: "a decision to believe and have complete confidence in Higher Power without logical proof or material evidence " Hope for me is the predecessor of faith, though the two intrinsically go hand in hand. To hope for something better and faith is what comes right after, faith that the hope will be fulfilled. In our literature we talk about not relying on self-will, this is me trying to control a situation on my own by acting with selfish and self-centered goals. Putting my wants before my needs, and putting both my wants and needs before my Higher Power's plans for me. An example of relying on hope and faith in something more powerful than myself is evident in my current life.  About 6 months ago I was without a sponsor, was new to the recovery program, and having a bit of clean time and sobriety under my belt I decided that I knew what I needed to do to be better. I thought I needed to go to school and get a job. These are admirable conquests that are definit...
