Art Trade with VCL pal Carbo. He offered Chester as "The Hermit" and he drew Luvita as Kinght of Wands. And here he comes, Chester The Hermit. I'm sorry for the greenish furrs. The furr's origin is black, but I forced to lighten it with yellow of the candle. And this is the consequence.
About "The Hermit": This card represents a retreat from time - a withdrawal into oneself for meditation, philosophy and spiritual inquiry. "The Hermit" signals a time of introspection. Don't hide from the world but don't fear to say "I need some quiet time."

every card has a reverse, what is the reverse of the hermit?
The traditional hermit is a crusty, bearded character who has withdrawn from the company of men to live a life of seclusion and hardship. Card 9 supports this understanding. The Hermit represents the desire to turn away from the getting and spending of society to focus on the inner world. He seeks answers within and knows that they will come only with quiet and solitude.
There comes a point in life when we begin to question the obvious. We sense that there is a deeper reality and begin to search for it. This is mainly a solitary quest because answers do not lie in the external world, but in ourselves. The hermit on Card 9 reminds us of Diogenes, the Greek ascetic who is said to have gone out with a lantern in hand to search for an honest man. Diogenes is a symbol of the search for truth that the Hermit hopes to uncover by stripping away all diversions.
In readings, the Hermit often suggests a need for time alone - a period of reflection when distractions are limited. In times of action and high energy, he stands for the still center that must be created for balance. He can also indicate that withdrawal or retreat is advised for the moment. In addition, the Hermit can represent seeking of all kinds, especially for deeper understanding or the truth of a situation. "Seek, and ye shall find," we have been told, and so the Hermit stands for guidance as well. We can receive help from wise teachers, and, in turn, help others as we progress.
