Crowley Countdown - Day 13

 "Wander alone; bearing the Light and thy Staff.

And be the Light so bright that no man seeth thee.

Be not moved by aught without or within:

keep Silence in all ways."

-Aleister Crowley

This card, to me, is the most introspective card of the entire deck. To wander alone does not mean to be lonely or removed from society. On a symbolic level, The Hermit wanders alone in the inner worlds. Not afraid to confront or deal with whatever may be there. Shadows as well as light.

To me it represents the courage to stand alone in our philosophies and spiritual practices. The courage to go it alone. Sharing what we have learned with others if they should ask. 

Be unique, be different, be yourself.

If you are seeking perhaps a little illumination a tarot reading can turn on the light.....here.
