Querent

The querent is the card that this user felt represented them or their situation best.

The Hermit

Card Meaning When Upright

Prudence, caution; also and especially treason, hypocrisy, mischief, corruption.

Card Description

A star shines in the Hermit's lantern. This is a card of attainment, and to emphasize this idea the figure is seen holding up his beacon on a hill. The Hermit is not a wise man in search of truth and justice; nor is he particularly an example of experience. His beacon hints that "where I am, you also may be." (see John 14:3)
