THE HERMIT

The Hermit represents the need to go within. With his light he shows the way to what you need and where you need to go. He can be equated with higher self, guardian angel or spirit guide. When drawn to the Hermit, one is searching for spiritual truths. The Hermit represents inner knowing found.

His wisdom is that of understanding - of taking the knowledge in your life and turning it into wisdom. His wisdom is found through meditation.

affirmation: "Through drawing within myself I find my inner center, my truth, the light that shines from within me."
