The Hermit
solitudewisdomsearch
Upright
Withdraw to hear yourself. The lantern is small on purpose — it lights a step, not a continent. Guidance you can trust will be found in quiet, not in the crowd.
Reversed
Isolation that has soured, or a refusal to go inward at all. Loneliness and solitude are different rooms. Choose the one that restores you.
