The Hermit…

There’s a card in the Tarot Deck called, The Hermit. He l00ks a little like this guy. He’s robed, his arm is arm out and he’s holding a staff in one hand and a lantern in the other. He’s wisdom. A gatekeeper, of sorts. He’s a reminder to seek the answers we are looking for, inside ourselves. Or, to go to someone we trust and work out the answers with them. He’s there to light the path, to light the way.
I used to see him all the time, when I was meditating/astral traveling. He stood on a hill, facing the home of a Goddess. He decided who would pass and who would not. I tried to joke with him, get him to laugh, but he’s too serious about what he does. He’s dedicated to his job. He’s always thinking and he’s a bit closed off. Still, he’s a peaceful sort, just lighting our way and keeping us going in the right direction.
This picture reminded me of him. The light of wisdom in his lantern, spreading it’s rays for us to follow.
