9 - The Hermit
The Fool journeys to The Hermit as he progresses through his journey, and The Fool realises that it’s ok to be alone. He seeks his own company and solitude to recharge and find solutions, as well as to find acceptance and heal. Contemplation is required, and now is the time for him to rely on himself. He may feel alone for a while, but here he finds that he needs to be true to himself while he looks within for the wisdom he needs to find.
We can feel alone, filled with a deep searching need for understanding, discretion, and compassion for an issue or even life as a whole, and find that answers need to come from some time in contemplation.
We can retreat to our own caves, those inner spaces where we can find peace and stillness while we figure out what is going on or what needs to be done. Some mindful or even meditative time is needed, or even forced, to allow you to go inward and find personal truths.
We are not stuck when we find ourselves here; we are simply searching. We sit within, waiting for a light to shine on the truths we seek. Progress may be slow, but mentally, we are seeking solutions and resolving inner conflicts.
Deep down, here we can seek to see our own potential, looking deep within for personal help, advice, growth, and insights into our true selves or the situations that life may have made us feel flung into or lost within.
Reality surrounds us, and that can be harsh. We can mourn what has been taken from us, and we can feel every inch of any pain we find ourselves contemplating. We could be in this situation by choice, with a need to recharge and understand, or by force, where we need to find our feet.
The Hermit offers us no quick solutions; do not fight where you are or try to rush through it.

Hi Pam. I'm very happy also to be part of your Understanding tarot group where we can learn from each other and learn all about this and connect even more to the tarot.
Your book has transformed the way I feel about tarot. For so many years, I've tried to learn it and understand what each card means but now I see the cards differently, I notice things I never have seen before, your book has literally opened my eyes in a way I didn't know was possible. I have such a respect for the cards now and for the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith and the symbolism that she and Arthur Waite have brought to every card, that my desire to learn more about them grows each day.
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and insights with so many of us. Blessings to you.

Pam's reading was beautifully done. Nothing like having a real need for some wisdom on a situation, and then having that need met 100% with a reading. Brilliant. Thank you. Pam responded with wise wonderful words in a kind compassionate way. Such intuitive insightful advice, in a very empathetic way. I felt I and my issue were really seen, listened and responded too. It's bought clarity and settling for me, much more than I expected. So grateful. Thank you.
