Brightest Blessings To All My Brothers & Sisters of the Craft!

Days Of The Week Comments
I call to the Spirits of love and light
To Help me make my outlook bright
Take away the gloom and doom
With the sweeping of my broom.
 
Cleanse my soul of feelings dark
Where misery has left its mark
Shift my thoughts to patterns new
Within the cauldron’s witchy brew.
 
Ease my heart and mend all hurt
To childlike innocence I revert
Greeting each new day with glee
Amid my magick’s mystery.
 
Negative out and positive in
With this new attitude I begin
To live my life with love and light
And see the world with clearer sight.

So Mote It Be.

The challenge of what has traditionally been known as the Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals and Nature herself.

While the hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit cards, more modern ones have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with Nature.
